  • Statistical significance was assessed using the Figure 3: SER-7, a 5-HT7-like metabotropic receptor, acts in the M4 pharyngeal motorneuron to induce HESP. ser-1, ser-2, ser-3 and ser-4, caused defects in HESP to a 250 mM NaCl gradient.

  • Whereas rpm-1 mutants have disorganized presynaptic terminals at motorneuron NMJs, we find that presynaptic terminals at interneuron central synapses of rpm-1 mutants are normal at a gross level.

  • SNB-1:: GFP fluorescence was observed along the ventral cord of animals either (A, C, E, G) expressing the reporter at motorneuron NMJs via the unc-25 promoter, or (B, D, F, H) expressing the reporter at interneuron central synapses via the glr-1 promoter.

  • Third, while mutations in rpm-1 result in defective presynaptic boutons at motorneuron NMJs, these same mutations do not appear to alter presynaptic boutons at interneuron central synapses.
