Functional analysis of conserved C. elegans bHLH family members uncovers lifespan control by a peptidergic hub neuron.

Throughout the animal kingdom, several members of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family act as proneural genes during early steps of nervous system development. Roles of bHLH genes in specifying terminal differentiation of postmitotic neurons have been less extensively studied. We analyze here th...
