Fig. 4: Anatomy does not capture extrasynaptic signalling from the neuron RID.

a, ADL, AWB and URX are predicted from anatomy to have no response to RID stimulation because there is no strong anatomical path from RID to those neurons (vertical lines at or near 0 V). Their anatomy-predicted responses are shown within the distribution of anatomy-predicted responses for all neuron pairs (blue histogram), as in Fig. 3b. b–d, Activity of neurons URXL (b), ADLR (c) and AWBR (d) to RID stimulation, in WT and unc-31-mutant backgrounds. Top, mean (blue) and s.d. (shading) across trials and animals. Bottom, individual traces are sorted across trial and animal by mean response amplitude. Here, trials are shown even in cases when RID activity was not measured. Additional neurons are shown in Extended Data Fig. 7c.
