this is very neat work. they used the nematode to address the factors that
are involved in localization and formation of stereotyped synapses. they
found that vulval epithelial cells are involved in the formation of synapses
at the vulva between HSNL and VC neurons.
talking about the general strategy, they first used YFP or GFP directed by
certain promoters that are "specific" to the synapse as markers, and they
demonstrated that they could visualize the formation of synapses near the
vulva. w
