WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr15

• Pattern: Expression is seen in 4 neural cells of the anterior ganglion, 8 more in the lateral/ventral ganglia, and 4-6 nuclei of the tail ganglia. Staining is also seen on sub-cellular particles in the vm1 muscles of the vulva. The neural pattern develops from L1 onwards; the vulval staining occurs L4 onwards.
• Primary Identifier: Expr15
• Remark: life_stage summary : postembryonic
• Subcellular Localization: Expressed in nuclei.

neuron with its cell body situated in the tail, posterior to rectum.	tail neuron		WBbt:0006759
The left and right lateral ganglia lie beside the nerve ring in the head. They each contain about (30) neuron cell bodies and send their neuronal processes into the ring at its posterior margin either laterally or ventrally via the amphid commissures and ventral ganglion, but form no local neuropil separate from the nerve ring. The lateral ganglia are in close contact with the lateral hypodermal cords.	lateral ganglion	lateral ganglia	WBbt:0005105

ganglion anterior to the nerve ring	anterior ganglion		WBbt:0005375
ganglion lies beside the nerve ring in the head, just anterior of the retrovesicular ganglion. It contains about 20 interneuron and motorneuron cell bodies that all send their neuronal processes into the ring. The cell bodies are divided into two groups by the intrusion of the excretory duct and canal. The cells are bounded by a basal lamina which physically separates them from the lateral ganglion even though they are adjacent to one another.	ventral ganglion	ventral ganglia	WBbt:0005298
