| Summary | C. elegans hermaphrodites exhibit a periodicity in the rate and temporal pattern of egg-laying. Egg laying is modulated by diverse environmental cues. Egg laying behavior has served as an important phenotypic assay for the genetic dissection of neuronal signal transduction mechanisms. Studies in C. elegans have elucidated the roles of specific neurons in the egg-laying motor circuit, which release multiple neurotransmitters affecting distinct parameters of egg-laying muscle activity, and the possible mechanisms for sensory control of egg-laying behavior. | ||||
