Brain wiring: Love the one you’re with

Recent electron microscopy-based connectomes of the Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system provide a new opportunity to test classic models for the development of brain wiring. Statistical analyses now reveal that neuronal adjacencies (the contactome) can partly predict synaptic connectivity (the con...
