... network development remain inadequately understood. Caenorhabditis elegans provides a useful model in which to study neural circuit development and GABAergic function in vivo . As in mammals, inhibitory GABAergic signaling shapes C. elegans neural circuit activity and behavior. The identity...

...Mikio Hoshino; Emiko Suzuki; Yo-ichi Nabeshima; Chihiro Hama ABSTRACT The development of neural circuits is regulated by a large number of factors that are localized at distinct neural sites. We report here the localization of one of these factors, hikaru genki (hig) protein, at synaptic clefts...
