This study identifies FSHR-1 as a key receptor mediating cell non-autonomous regulation of synaptic transmission in C. elegans through inter-tissue signaling.

This paper identifies DVE-1 as a transcriptional regulator that directs synapse elimination during GABAergic circuit remodeling in C. elegans by controlling the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

The paper shows that kinesin-3 delivers neurexin to presynaptic terminals, stabilizing dendritic spines and postsynaptic components in C. elegans motor neurons.

The paper shows that the NLP-12 neuropeptide system in C. elegans modulates head and body motor circuits through CKR-1 and CKR-2 GPCRs to regulate food search behavior.
