Daniel Ramot Project: Using thermotaxis, a behavior in which worms associate their cultivation temperature with food, as a model for associative learning and information processing, I am attempting to understand how a single, identified neuron contributes to information storage and processing within a relatively simple neural circuit. I am focusing on the neuron AFD, a putative C. elegans thermosensory neuron, and using in vivo whole-cell patch clamp recordings to monitor electrical signals in this neuron under different cultivation and ambient temperature conditions.
