a, Distribution of signal propagation timescales. b,c, Paired responses for M3L→URYVL (b) and AVDR→AVDL (c), for WT and unc-31 animals. unc-31 animals do not show downstream responses to stimulation. AVDR→AVDL extrasynaptic communication is putatively mediated in autocrine loops through NLP-10→NPR-35 and FLP-6→FRPR-8 signalling. Top, average (blue) and s.d. (shading) across trials and animals.
