Hub connectivity, neuronal diversity, and gene expression in the Caenorhabditis elegans connectome
Fig 2
Hub neurons are contained within the head and tail of C. elegans.
Neurons are positioned along the anterior–posterior (horizontal), and dorsal–ventral (vertical) axes, and are colored by type: (i) interneuron (85 neurons, orange), (ii) sensory (68 neurons, blue), (iii) motor (108 neurons, green), or (iv) multiple assignments (18 neurons, yellow). Hub neurons (i.e., neurons with k > 44, see Fig 5) are shown as larger circles and outlined in black. ‘Rich-club’ connections between hub neurons are shown (red), and all other connections are also shown in the upper plots (gray). Axes of each subplot are to scale with each other, and the upper zoomed-in plots of the head and tail are shown as dotted rectangles in the lower plot.
