G-protein signaling: Satisfying the basic necessities of life

Recent studies have shed light on the role of G-protein signaling, and in particular the regulatory RGS proteins, in behavioral adaptations of the round worm Caenorhabditis elegans; similar signaling pathways underlie analogous physiology and behaviors in mammals.
