Caption

Figure 2. Dopamine-releasing nerve cells in worms and their activation. (Top) A lateral view of 4 pairs of dopamine-releasing neurons in a worm. Note that an animal's left-right axis is vertical and its dorsal-ventral axis is horizontal when it moves on a surface of agar pad. (Bottom) Left: A bright field image of a worm just entered in a bacterial lawn. Right: The activities of dopamine-releasing neurons. CEPD is most activated (red).
