The Multilayer Connectome of Caenorhabditis elegans | PLOS Computational Biology Article Authors Metrics Comments Media Coverage Reader Comments Figures Figures Abstract Connectomics has focused primarily on the mapping of synaptic links in the brain; yet it is well established that extrasynaptic volume transmission, especially via monoamines and neuropeptides, is also critical to brain function and occurs primarily outside the synaptic connectome. We have mapped the putative monoamine connections, as well as a subset of neuropeptide connections, in C . elegans based on new and published gene
