Efficiency of chemotaxis in cell-ablated animals. Time spent at each position as fraction of total time is indicated by the darkness of that position.
A
, Untreated wild-type N2.
B
, Untreated N2 animals on assay plates without NaCl.
C
, Untreated ttx-3(ot22) mutants.
D
, N2 animals with ASER neurons ablated.
E
, N2 animals with both ASER and ASEL neurons ablated.
F
, Ex[ins-1::Venus] animals with AIA neurons ablated.
G
, Ex[glr-1::Venus] animals with AIB neurons ablated.
H
, Ex[ttx-3::GFP] animals with AIY neurons ablated.
I

J
, N2 animals with ASI neurons ablated.
K
