Myoinhibitory peptide signaling modulates aversive gustatory learning in Caenorhabditis elegans.

abstract：:Lifespan can be extended by reduction of dietary intake. This practice is referred to as dietary restriction (DR), and extension of lifespan by DR is evolutionarily conserved in taxonomically diverse organisms including yeast, invertebrates, and mammals. Although these two often-stated facts carry the implication that...
