Summary

  • The key defining feature of glutamatergic neurons is EAT-4/VGLUT which is present in 38 out of 118 neuron classes.
  • Data is included in WormAtlas which has been compiled into a single dataset
  • This data was later used to construct the functional connectome of Randi et al. 2023 and the multi-layer connectome of Bentley et al. 2016.
