WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1571

• Pattern: The transgene activity is seen very early in the embryo and continues through adulthood. Staining is restricted mainly to the nervous system. Staining was clearly seen in the ventral nerve cord, the preanal and lumbar ganglia, and the nerve ring.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1571
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified.

a large process bundle that runs along the vental mid-line extending from the ventral region of the nerve ring.	ventral nerve cord	ventral cord	WBbt:0005829
the most extensive region of neuropil in the animal, consists of a large toroidal bundle of processes.	nerve ring	circumpharyngeal nerve ring	WBbt:0006749
The left and right lumbar ganglia lie behind the pre-anal ganglion in the tail, in lateral positions. Each contains 12 neuron cell bodies that send most of their neuronal processes into the ventral nerve cord via lumbar commissures and the pre-anal ganglion. There is no local neuropil in these ganglia in the hermaphrodite, instead they form most synapses in the pre-anal ganglion. Most lumbar neurons have sensory functions. In the adult male tail, these two ganglia gain many additional neurons and have some local neuropil. The lumbar neurons lie in close association with the lateral hypodermis, and most are posterior to the anus.	lumbar ganglion	lumbar lateral ganglia	WBbt:0005830
