To further explore the molecular basis of neuritogenesis in vivo, we used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a developmental model and performed a forward genetic screen to identify genes that specify the polarity of neurite outgrowth. We examined the VC4 and VC5 neurons, members of the six VC motor neurons using the Pcat-1enCaenorhabditis elegansPlanar Cell PolarityNeurobiologyNeurite polarityThesis
