Molecular, neural, and tissue circuits underlying physiological temperature responses in Caenorhabditis elegans
Temperature is a constant environmental factor on Earth, acting as a continuous stimulus that organisms must constantly perceive to survive. Organisms possess neural systems that receive various types of environmental information, including temperature, and mechanisms for adapting to their surroundi...

| Summary: | Temperature is a constant environmental factor on Earth, acting as a continuous stimulus that organisms must constantly perceive to survive. Organisms possess neural systems that receive various types of environmental information, including temperature, and mechanisms for adapting to their surroundings. This paper provides insights into the neural circuits and intertissue networks involved in physiological temperature responses, specifically the mechanisms of “cold tolerance” and “temperature acclimation,” based on an analysis of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as an experimental system for neural and intertissue information processing. |
