The analysis of the developmental programs that define many different neuron types in the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has revealed common themes in how distinct terminal …

Abstract Knowledge of connectivity in the nervous system is essential to understanding its
function. Here we describe connectomes for both adult sexes of the nematode …

Nervous system maps are of critical importance for understanding how nervous systems
develop and function. We systematically map here all cholinergic neuron types in the male …

Transcription factors regulate the molecular, morphological, and physiological
characteristics of neurons and generate their impressive cell-type diversity. To gain insight …

Neurotransmitter maps are important complements to anatomical maps and represent an
invaluable resource to understand nervous system function and development. We report …

Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) have increasingly gained interest as a potential
therapy for nerve regeneration in medicine and dentistry, however their neurogenic potential …

While neuronal cell types display an astounding degree of phenotypic diversity, most if not
all neuron types share a core panel of terminal features. However, little is known about how …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a research model organism particularly suited to
the mechanistic understanding of synapse genesis in the nervous system. Armed with …

Our present day understanding of nervous system development is an amalgam of insights
gained from studying different aspects and stages of nervous system development in a …
