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 compares the nervous systems of two nematode species to identify patterns of evolutionary change in their connectomes.

The paper creates a comprehensive neurotransmitter atlas in C. elegans by analyzing CRISPR/Cas9 knock-in reporter strains, revealing new expression sites and co-expression patterns.
