Tgfbr1 signaling governs all processes associated with the trunk to tail transition, including the repositioning of neuro-mesodermal progenitors, as well as the remodeling of the lateral plate mesoderm and embryonic endoderm.

In feedforward networks with random connectivity, connection motifs underlying the detection of short clusters and activity sequences are likely to converge on a subset of postsynaptic neurons purely by chance.

Mechanosensory isolation of C. elegans nematodes independently induces homeostatic structural changes in the dendritic tree and differential response to mechanical stimulation, both these structural and behavioral outcomes are mediated by degenerins and do not affect presynaptic calcium dynamics.
