Multi-layer connection of C. elegans

Dataset Descriptions: Edge list of connections between neurons (nodes) for electrical and chemical communication in the nervous system of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans)

Methodology Used: The neuron and connectivity data can be found on WormAtlas (http://www.wormatlas.org). The transmitter and receptor data are partly taken from B. Bentley et al. (PLoS Comput. Biol. 12, e1005283 (2016), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005283) and have been supplemented by own work.

 

The data set combines connectome data provided by WormAtlas (http://www.wormatlas.org) and Bentley et al. (PLoS Comput. Biol. 12, e1005283 (2016), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005283). We consolidated the two data sources, which have been used in the publication:

T. Maertens, E. Schöll, J., P. Hövel: Multilayer network analysis of C. elegans: Looking into the locomotory circuitry, Neurocomputing 427, 238 (2021), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2020.11.015

and a more recent manuscript (submitted to EPJB) available as preprint

The is one csv file for each layer (electrical, Acetycholine, Glutamate, gamma-Aminobutyric acid, Monoamine, Peptide) with the following columns:

Pre : presynaptic neuron (numerical identifier),
Post: postsynaptic neuron (numerical identifier),
Type: electrical or chemical connection,
Layer: layer type,
Pre : presynaptic neuron (name, 3-4 letter abbreviation),
Post: postsynaptic neuron (name, 3-4 letter abbreviation)
