Abstract
Two recent studies published in Nature generate and analyze, for the first time, the network of ∼100,000 membrane contacts between neurons in the C. elegans nerve ring. These novel data, extracted from legacy electron microscographs, represent a shift in our understanding of C. elegans neural networks and their similarity to mammalian brains.
