Nematodes can use local and global search strategies to find food. In this issue of Neuron, López-Cruz et al. (2019) López-Cruz A. Sordillo A. Pokala N. Liu Q. McGrath P.T. Bargmann C.I. Parallel multimodal circuits control an innate foraging behavior. Neuron. 2019; 102 ( this issue) : 407-419 Google Scholar unravel a neural circuit mechanism that allows worms to select and switch between these search modes depending on recent experience of food
