Immature C. elegans motor neurons control early embryo behavior via both synaptic and non-synaptic GABA release

James Marvel‐Coen, Evan L. Ardiel, Jian Zhao…·Joshua M. Kaplan

The paper shows that immature GABAergic motor neurons in C. elegans embryos transiently inhibit motion via both synaptic and non-synaptic GABA release before synapse formation.
