Convergent developmental principles between Caenorhabditis elegans and human connectomes

Published on October 15, 2021

A recent study by Witvliet et al. reconstructed the entire brain connectome for eight Caenorhabditis elegans spanning from birth to adulthood and described how synapse changes shape the connectome topology during development. Their data suggest some convergent developmental principles in connectome maturation between C. elegans and humans.
