Transient morphogenetic constraints organize self-assembling axon neighborhoods for robust yet flexible wiring

Nervous systems form wiring patterns that are reproducible across individuals. This reproducibility is thought to emerge from molecular encoding and developmental events, but their relative contributions remain unclear. We address this question in the C. elegans neuropil, where embryonic developmental dynamics and adult anatomy are resolved at single-cell resolution. We find that transient…
