WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr25

• Pattern: This neural pattern covers all non-embryonic stages and accumulates cellular components during development. The expression is localised to the cytoplasm, the resulting smears of staining in cell bodies and processes making it difficult to do definitive cell counts in the tightly populated regions of neuropil. However, by adulthood an estimated 10 neurones in the head, 6 in the tail, and 8/10 in the ventral nerve cord comprise the complete pattern of expression. Another image shows a closer view of the head of a young adult hermaphrodite. Up to 10 nuclei of the head ganglia, 6 of the tail ganglia, and several nuclei of the ventral nerve cord stain L1-adult.
