Figure 2. Aversive olfactory learning requires the AWB and AWC olfactory sensory neurons.

Figure 2

A, The aversive olfactory learning ability of wild type animals and chemosensory mutants. The learning ability of mutants and wild type animals were compared with two tailed Student’s t-test and multiple comparisons were adjusted with Bonferroni correction (Data are presented as mean +/− SEM. *** P < 0.001, n ≥ 6 assays, error bars: SEM). B, Expression of osm-6 cDNA in AWB and AWC olfactory sensory neurons rescues the learning defect of osm-6 mutants, but the expression of osm-6 cDNA in the AWC or in the gustatory neurons ASE does not rescue. The learning ability of transgenic animals was compared with that of non-transgenic siblings with paired two tailed Student’s t-test (Data are presented as mean +/− SEM. *** P < 0.001, n ≥ 4 assays, error bars: SEM, N.S.: not significant). C, A candidate neuronal network downstream of sensory neurons AWB and AWC to regulate aversive olfactory learning. Please also see Supplemental Figure 2 and Supplemental Table 1 and 2.
