New WormBook chapter on C. elegans feeding (fwd)

[Qinghua Wang]

Dear WormBook readers,

A new chapter, C. elegans feeding, by Leon Avery and Young-jai You,
has been published in the Neurobiology and behavior section of
WormBook. This chapter provides an overview of feeding, discusses
the pharyngeal muscle action potential and describes isthmus
peristalsis. Behavioral aspects of feeding, such as hunger, food
seeking and satiety, are also discussed.

Please visit http://www.wormbook.org/ to read this and other chapters
on nematode biology.

Thank you for your interest in WormBook. Please continue to send us your
comments and suggestions via the Feedback page on wormbook.org.

Best wishes,
