She found something surprising to us - that removal from chronic alcohol, as close as we can get to withdrawal in the worm, was not so great for their ability to remember. She then went on to chase down the genetic why - read her paper here to find out!

Altered glr-1 expression is linked to EtOH cessation-mediated behavior deficits in C. elegans.
Chronic ethanol (EtOH) exposure and withdrawal are linked to worsened memory and cognitive outcomes. One target of EtOH is the glutamatergic alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazoleproprionic acid r...

INS-17, an insulin-receptor ligand, confers specificity in adult IIS-regulated phenotypes in C. elegans
Insulin/IGF growth factor (IGF) signaling (IIS) is a pleiotropic signaling pathway that functions across tissues to coordinate phenotypic changes in response to nutrient status. Thus, the ubiquity of ...
