In their new work, the researchers measured the responses of all 24 neurons as C. elegans was exposed to benzaldehyde-a chemical that gives off a pleasant, almond-like smell. Surprisingly, rather than the individual pairs that had been previously shown, they found that additional neurons were also involved. Interestingly, these cells were divided into primary and secondary neurons.
