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.
