Hub connectivity, neuronal diversity, and gene expression in the Caenorhabditis elegans connectome
Fig 7
Correlated gene expression is highest for hub interneurons.
(A) The number of connected neuron pairs involving interneurons (orange), sensory neurons (blue), and motor neurons (green) across degree threshold, k, represented as log10(number of links). (B) Median CGE as a function of degree for connections involving different types of neurons. Circles indicate a statistically significant increase in CGE in a given link type relative to the rest of the network (one-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test, p < 0.05). (C) CGE distributions for connected pairs of hub interneurons (red) and connected pairs of non-hub interneurons (dark yellow) (Wilcoxon rank sum test, p = 5 × 10−21). * represents statistically significant difference.
