Calcium-fluorescence images of roundworm

Caption

Calcium-fluorescence images of a whole C. elegans worm, showing (a) three boxed sections of interest from head to tail (left to right) at time 0 before nerve cell activation; (b) an initial calcium wave in the gut is followed by activation of nerve cell body AVL in the head (large arrowhead, left panel), AVL nerve fiber (small arrow, left and middle panels), preanal nerve–muscle junction (small arrow, right panel), and nerve cell body DVB in the tail (large arrowhead, right panel). As a negative-control reference, the red * in the right panel shows an unaffected cell that is irrelevant to the defecation cycle.
