Abstract
What are the pathways that underlie the coordinated responses of an organism to well-fed and food-deprived states? A report in this issue of Cell Metabolism suggests that starvation functions via a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor to activate MAP kinase signaling in the pharyngeal muscle of C. elegans (You et al., 2006).
