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.

The paper reconstructs the post-embryonic maturation of the C. elegans motor circuit using electron microscopy, showing how structural rewiring maintains functional output during development.

The paper provides a detailed structural analysis of the anterior sensilla in C. elegans dauer larvae using FIB-SEM, revealing previously unknown neuronal structures.

The paper studies brain-wide activity in C. elegans during mating, showing how sensory context shapes diverse neural dynamics across different behavioral components.

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.
