Regulation of Polarized Protein Transport to Axons, Dendrites, and Sensory Cilia in Caeborhabditis Elegans Neurons
… polarized transport to axons, dendrites and cilia in neurons are only partly understood. In this thesis, I describe my effort at understanding how neuronal proteins are asymmetrically localized. I pursued a genetic approach, employing the C. elegans nervous system as an in vivo model system …

Glia Are Required For Sensory Neuron Morphology And Function In Caenorhabditis elegans
… development and function we have studied the sensory organs of Caenorhabditis elegans because their anatomy and function are well-characterized. Specifically, we have focused on two aspects of sensory organs: how do glia interact with neurons to enable proper development and function and how …

Regulation and function of genes involved in drosophila ciliogenesis
… by Ato is consistent with Ch neurons having ciliated dendrites. However, the role of dila was completely unknown, but its sequence suggested that it may be involved in neuronal differentiation rather than gene regulation. I generated several dila mutant alleles and demonstrated that dila …

The Long-Rage Directional Behavior of the Nematode C. Elegans
<p>Like any mobile organism, C. elegans relies on sensory cues to find food. In the absence of such cues, animals might display defined search patterns or other stereotyped behavior. The motion of C. elegans has previously been characterized as a sinusoid whose direction can be modulated by gradual …
