Reviewer #2 (Public review): Compressed sensing-based approach identifies modular neural circuitry driving learned pathogen avoidance
Abstract
This important study describes a neural circuit contributing to two behavioral processes affecting pathogen avoidance in the nematode C. elegans.The method used to identify specific contributing neurons is innovative, and the experimental evidence supporting the major claims is solid.This study will be of interest to neuroscientists studying behavior, in particular in C. elegans.
