Abstract

Understanding how the nervous system generates behavior is a long-standing goal of neuroscience. The early nervous system develops alongside other tissues and organs in the course of embryogenesis and is crucial for establishing the organism’s early behavioral repertoire, including its ability to perform coordinated movements. The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans has long been an important model system for studying developmental processes and offers several powerful features that aid such investigations, including its rapid embryonic development and its known and invariant cell lineage (1).
