An environment is often represented by numerous sensory cues. In order to better survive, an animal often needs to detect and process simultaneously present sensory cues to make a behavioral decision. Multisensory behavior is widely observed in both the vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Integrating multiple sensory cues generates a more accurate evaluation of the environment and provides important adaptive values. Intriguingly, humans have several neurological diseases that are linked to sensory processing or decision-making including, autism spectrum disorder, Parkinson\u2019s disease, bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, and gambling behaviors. These diseases can involve differences in encountering multiple sensory stimuli that evoke certain behavioral choices under normal conditions. These studies reveal multi-sensory integration as a common neuronal and behavioral process. The importance of these studies will help understand the underlying mechanisms of disease in humans. The C. elegans genome encodes homologues of about 50% of the molecules expressed in the mammalian brains, which allows characterizing of the molecular and circuit basis for multisensory behavior during decision-making. We investigate the behavioral differences across various strains of nematodes, generally examining multiple populations of Caenorhabditis nematode that have originated from distinct geographical locations. We use a multisensory behavioral paradigm to address these questions to determine a profile for how these different worm strains behave, which is in a food leaving assay WITH and WITHOUT exposure to dangerous repulsive odors. We hope to provide insight into how different organisms may behave in different conditions during exposure to attractive food sources and adverse environmental conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
