Genetic dissection of memory for associative and non‐associative learning in Caenorhabditis elegans

HL Lau, TA Timbers, R Mahmoud… - Genes, Brain and …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The distinction between non‐associative and associative forms of learning has historically
been based on the behavioral training paradigm. Through discovering the molecular …

Tap withdrawal circuit interneurons require CREB for long-term habituation in Caenorhabditis elegans.

TA Timbers, CH Rankin - Behavioral neuroscience, 2011 - psycnet.apa.org
We investigated the role of the Caenorhabditis elegans CREB (cAMP response element

Insights into the roles of CMK-1 and OGT-1 in interstimulus interval-dependent habituation in Caenorhabditis elegans

…, TA McDiarmid, TA Timbers… - … of the Royal …, 2018 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Habituation is a ubiquitous form of non-associative learning observed as a decrement in
responding to repeated stimulation that cannot be explained by sensory adaptation or motor …

Intensity discrimination deficits cause habituation changes in middle-aged Caenorhabditis elegans

TA Timbers, AC Giles, EL Ardiel, RA Kerr… - Neurobiology of …, 2013 - Elsevier
The ability to learn and remember is critical for all animals to survive in the ever-changing
environment. As we age, many of our biological faculties decay and of these, decline in …

Invitation by vibration: recruitment to feeding shelters in social caterpillars

…, RNC Guedes, SM Matheson, TA Timbers… - Behavioral Ecology and …, 2017 - Springer
Sociality is widespread in caterpillars, but the communication mechanisms used for group
formation and cohesion are poorly understood. Here, we present the first evidence that …

The FMRFamide-related neuropeptide FLP-20 is required in the mechanosensory neurons during memory for massed training in C. elegans

C Li, TA Timbers, JK Rose, T Bozorgmehr… - Learning & …, 2013 - learnmem.cshlp.org
Lasting memories are likely to result from a lasting change in neurotransmission. In the
