Functionally asymmetric motor neurons contribute to coordinating locomotion of Caenorhabditis elegans

Functionally asymmetric motor neurons contribute to coordinating locomotion of Caenorhabditis elegans

Locomotion circuits developed in simple animals, and circuit motifs further evolved in higher animals. To understand locomotion circuit motifs, they must be characterized in many models. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans possesses one of the best-studied circuits for undulatory movement. Yet, for...
