All C. elegans strains were cultured on NGM (nematode growth medium) plates seeded with E. coli OP50 at 20°C. The following strains were used for this study: N2 (wild-type), slo-1(eg142lf), slo-1(ky399gf), erg-28(cim16), erg-28(gk697770), erg-28(tm6168), unc-36(e251), unc-43(n498n1186), kyIs140I[str-2p::GFP], slo-1(cim105[slo-1::gfp]), elks-1(cim107[elks-1::fRFP(FusionRed)], ddi-1(ok1468), cimIs39[erg-28p::mCherry::erg-28, odr-1p::GFP], and zxIs6[unc-17p::ChR2(H134R)::YFP, lin-15(+)]. The complete list of the strains used is provided in Supplementary file 1.
