Figure 2. Identification of the interneurons required for harsh touch behavior.
(a) A schematic illustrating the position of interneuron cell bodies.
(b) AVA, AVD and AVE are required for mediating anterior but not posterior or anus harsh touch response. *p<0.02. **p<0.0001 (ANOVA with Bonferroni test compared to control). n≥5. Error bars: SEM.
(c) PVC is required for mediating posterior but not anterior or anus harsh touch response. **p<0.0001 (t test). n≥12. Error bars: SEM.
(d) PVC and DVA together are required for mediating anus harsh touch response. **p<0.0001 (ANOVA with Bonferroni test compared to control). n≥4. Error bars: SEM.
