The SPARK project explores how the nervous system encodes responses to aversive stimuli using neuropeptide signaling pathways in C. elegans. It aims to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying behavioral responses to harmful stimuli, enhancing our knowledge of nervous system function.
Animal brains are wired according to a series of remarkable genetic programs that have evolved over millions of years.
Much of our behavior, however, is the product of experiences that happen to us on much shorter time scales.
The ability of the nervous system to properly respond to aversive stimuli is crucial for animal well-being and survival.
In many vertebrate sensory systems, persistent stimuli are coded by tonically active neural circuits.
As opposed to phasic sensors that adapt rapidly, t…
