In addition to that, these neurons are also quite different from the ones in mammals,
"The neurons do not fire action potentials, and do not express any voltage-gated sodium channels." [1]
That makes the fact that it can develop a nicotine addiction even more fascinating.
"Nicotine dependence can also be studied using C. elegans because it exhibits behavioral responses to nicotine that parallel those of mammals. These responses include acute response, tolerance, withdrawal, and sensitization." [1]
