Abstract excerpt
Common features underlie the generation and function of neurons in multicellular animals. It is likely that conserved pathways and genes also are involved in neuronal degeneration and malfunction. To address the molecular mechanisms of complex human neurological disorders, many investigators are choosing to study these diseases in simpler organisms. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans provides an excellent model...
