The paper shows that juvenile C. elegans generate symmetric motor patterns through an asymmetric motor circuit, with dorsal bending driven by synaptic wiring and ventral bending via extrasynaptic signaling from premotor interneurons.

This study uses connectomics to show how brain circuits change with age in C. elegans, revealing principles of brain maturation through structural and functional remodeling.

The paper identifies a neuroendocrine neuron, RID, in C. elegans that sustains forward movement through the neuropeptide FLP-14.
