Changing synaptic specificities in the nervous system of Caenorhabditis elegans: differentiation of the DD motoneurons.

Journal of neurobiology - 1 Dec 1993

Walthall W W, Li L, Plunkett J A, Hsu C Y

Abstract excerpt

During postembryonic development, the DD motoneurons in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans completely reorganize their pattern of synapses. Ablation of a pair of embryonic precursors results in the absence of this entire class of motoneurons. In their absence animals exhibit two developmentally distinct locomotory defects. The transition period from one defect to the other is correlated with the synaptic...
