The enormous diversity of cell types that characterizes any animal nervous system is defined
by neuron-type-specific gene batteries that endow cells with distinct anatomical and …

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 …

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 …

The choice of using one of many possible neurotransmitter systems is a critical step in
defining the identity of an individual neuron type. We show here that the key defining feature …

Complex biological processes such as embryogenesis require precise coordination of cell
differentiation programs across both space and time. Using protein-fusion fluorescent …

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

In almost all nervous systems, rapid excitatory synaptic communication is mediated by a
diversity of ionotropic glutamate receptors. In Caenorhabditis elegans, 10 putative ionotropic …

To reach their proper targets, axons rely upon the actions of highly conserved families of
attractive and repulsive guidance molecules, including the netrins, Slits, semaphorins and …

The specific patterns and functional properties of electrical synapses of a nervous system
are defined by the neuron-specific complement of electrical synapse constituents. We …

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 …
