  "summary": "Sexually dimorphic behaviors arise from underlying differences in neural circuit architecture between the sexes, yet the molecular mechanisms that establish these structural differences remain poorly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the sex-shared interneuron AVG exhibits sexually dimorphic synaptic connectivity, offering a model for investigating the development of sexually dimorphic…",
