UNC-4 CONTROLS SYNAPTIC SPECIFICITY BY MODULATING ANTAGONISTIC WNT PATHWAYS IN THE C. ELEGANS MOTOR CIRCUIT

Coordinated movement depends on specific connections between neurons, yet mechanisms that govern synaptic specificity are poorly understood. The simple, well-defined motor circuit of the nematode, C. elegans provides an optimal model system to study how neurons choose synaptic partners. Here, intern...
