Homozygous viable and fertile. No gross behavioral abnormalities. Reduction of thrashing rate and expulsions during defecation cycle. Changed sensitivity to compounds. Increased sensitivity to aldicarb and levamisole in paralysis tests. Reduced sensitivity during egg laying to levamisole, 5-hydrosxytryptamine, and imipramine. Morphological defects in neurite fasciculation, neurite branching, and synapse formation. 1.5bk deletion at the 5' end of the mRNA.

aeaIs10 [rgef-1p::GCaMP6s::3xNLS + lin-15(+)]. Worms express GCaMP6s in all neuronal nuclei. Pan-neuronal imaging strain; suitable for rapid whole-brain imaging due to brightness, good signal to noise ratio, and relative resistance to photo-bleaching. Reference: Susoy V, et al.
