Gene expression of Caenorhabditis elegans neurons carries information on their synaptic connectivity.

The claim that genetic properties of neurons significantly influence their synaptic network structure is a common notion in neuroscience. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans provides an exciting opportunity to approach this question in a large-scale quantitative manner. Its synaptic connectivity net...
