HLH-3 Is Required for the Maturation of Neurons Necessary for Male Specific Exploration Behavior

Kimberly Goodwin, Aixa Alfonso

This study shows that hlh-3 expression is sexually dimorphic in C. elegans males and is required for the maturation of neurons involved in male-specific exploration behavior.

The conserved ASCL1/MASH-1 ortholog HLH-3 specifies sex-specific ventral cord motor neuron fate in C. elegans

Lillian M. Perez, Aixa Alfonso

The paper identifies HLH-3 as a conserved bHLH protein that specifies sex-specific ventral cord motor neuron fate in C. elegans through cell-autonomous function.
