Caenorhabditis elegans has become a valuable model organism for the study of development and genetics for a variety of reasons. The developmental fate of each cell (1031 in males and 959 in hermaphrodites) has been mapped. C. elegans has only 302 neurons whose pattern of connectivity is known, and it displays a variety of interesting behaviors including chemo-taxis, thermotaxis, and mating behavior, to name a few. In addition, isogenic lines have been established. What advantage would the use of C. elegans have over other model organisms in the study of animal behavior? What are likely disadvantages?
