Abstract excerpt
We explore here how neuronal cell type diversity is genetically delineated in the context of the large, but poorly studied, male-specific nervous system of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Mostly during postembryonic development, the C. elegans male adds 93 male-specific neurons, falling into 25 cardinal classes, to the predominantly embryonically generated, sex-shared nervous system, comprising 294 neurons...
