Fig. 3. Effects of killing or depolarizing the command interneurons. (A) Command
interneurons sustain both swimming (left panels) and quiescence (right
panels). (B) Depolarization of command interneurons increases quiescence. Left
and right panels as in A. (C) Progressive increase in quiescence with all
command interneurons except AVB depolarized [nmr-1::GLR-1(A/T)], all
command interneurons including AVB depolarized, [glr-1::GLR-1(A/T)]
and AVB depolarized and the remaining command interneurons killed
[glr-1::GLR-1(A/T):nmr-1::ICE]. Typical single worm swimming
(gray)–quiescence (black) behavior. Wild-type data are the same as in
Fig. 1D (N2, Bristol).
