They will die and not learn: The lesson that male worms refuse to internalize

In Dr. Meital Oren-Suisa's lab at the Weizmann Institute, they discovered that male worms learn less well from experience compared to females, and uncovered a neural receptor that is responsible for the difference between the sexes and is also conserved in humans.
