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 shows that phasmid sensory neurons and caudal glands coexist in a nematode, challenging the idea that they evolved from each other during aquatic-to-terrestrial transitions.

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 studies mitochondrial structural diversity in C. elegans neuromuscular system across development using 3D electron microscopy and deep learning, finding correlations between mitochondrial properties and synaptic connections, and identifying stage-specific mitochondrial features in dauer.

The paper reconstructs the dauer connectome of nematodes to show how structural and connectivity changes in neurons lead to specific behaviors during developmental plasticity.

The paper identifies a regulatory module in C. elegans IL2 neurons that specifies ciliary identity and behavior through DAF-19M, with conserved roles in nictation and mating.
