Timing mechanism of sexually dimorphic nervous system differentiation

2018-09-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In all animals, sexual differentiation of somatic tissue is precisely timed, yet the molecular mechanisms that control the timing of sexual differentiation, particularly in the brain, are poorly understood. We have used sexually dimorphic molecular, anatomical and behavioral features of the C. elegans nervous system to decipher a regulatory pathway that controls the precise timing of sexual dif...
