  • Title: Building stereotypic connectivity: mechanistic insights into structural plasticity from C. elegans.
    Author: Jin Y, Qi YB.
    Journal: Curr Opin Neurobiol; 2018 Feb; 48():97-105. PubMed ID: 29182952.
    Abstract:
    The ability of neurons to modify or remodel their synaptic connectivity is critical for the function of neural circuitry throughout the life of an animal. Understanding the mechanisms underlying neuronal structural changes is central to our knowledge of how the nervous system is shaped for complex behaviors and how it further adapts to developmental and environmental demands. Caenorhabditis elegans provides a powerful model for examining developmental processes and for discovering mechanisms controlling neural plasticity. Recent findings have identified conserved themes underlying neural plasticity in development and under environmental stress.
