The paper compares terminal and subtype selectors in two nematode species to study neuronal evolution over 200 million years, finding conservation and novelty in regulatory programs.

The paper characterizes monoaminergic neurons in Pristionchus pacificus, identifying conserved and novel patterns of neurotransmitter expression and function in behaviors like host-finding and dispersal.

The paper investigates the role of homeobox genes in defining neuronal diversity in the male-specific nervous system of C. elegans, showing their expression patterns and functional importance.

The paper investigates the role of homeobox genes in neuronal identity specification in C. elegans, finding that 111 of 118 neuron classes require homeobox genes for proper differentiation.

The paper identifies genes that regulate microtubule glutamylation and ciliary integrity in C. elegans, showing their role in preventing neuronal ciliary degeneration.
