Neuronal remodeling on the evolutionary timescale
Despite its remarkable capacity to undergo change at timescales ranging from a fraction of a second to a lifetime, there are many aspects of the nervous system that can be modified only at the enormously longer evolutionary timescale. A new study in BMC Biology using nematodes illustrates such evolu...

A new study in BMC Biology using nematodes illustrates such evolutionary neuronal remodeling. |
