Antipsychotic drugs stimulate recovery from dauer. Yeast extract served as a positive control. DMSO was used as the solvent for each of the drugs; therefore, DMSO alone at the concentrations used in each well was tested as a negative control. Haloperidol formed crystals at 160 μM so that concentration is not accurate. When this experiment was repeated with the daf-2(e1370) mutant, no animals recovered from the dauer state.
