Activity of the C. elegans egg-laying behavior circuit is controlled by competing activation and feedback inhibition

Like many behaviors, Caenorhabditis elegans egg laying alternates between inactive and active states. To understand how the underlying neural circuit turns the behavior on and off, we optically recorded circuit activity in behaving animals while manipulating circuit function using mutations, optogen...
