Summary

  • This paper integrates information from biochemical, gene expression and anatomical datasets to infer pathways for neuropeptide signalling between individual C.elegans neurons.

    • gene expression (Taylor et al. 2021)
    • biochemical (Beets et al. 2023)
    • anatomical datasets (White et al. 1986; Albertson & Thomson 1976; Witvliet et al. 2021)
  • They generated three models (long range, mid range, short range) for neuropeptidergic connections.
