Thermotaxis behavior ofCaenorhabditis elegansis robust and highly plastic. A pair of sensory neurons, AFD, memorize environmental/cultivation temperature and communicate with a downstream neural circuit to adjust the temperature preference of the animal. This results in a behavioral bias where worms will move toward their cultivation temperature on a thermal gradient. Thermotaxis ofC. elegansis also affected by the internal state and is temporarily abolished when worms are starved. Here I will discuss howC. elegansis able to modulate its behavior based on temperature by integrating environmental and internal information. Recent studies show that some parasitic nematodes have a similar thermosensory mechanism toC. elegansand exhibit cultivation-temperature-dependent thermotaxis. I will also discuss the common neural mechanisms that regulate thermosensation and thermotaxis inC. elegansandStrongyloides stercoralis.
