Description: Post-embryonically born male-specific interneurons. Anteriorly directed processes of EF1-3 neurons enter nerve ring. Development of EF neurons are one of the few examples of variability in the neuronal lineage of C. elegans, where EF4 is only formed in a fraction of adult males (Sulston et al., 1980; Tekieli et al., 2021).
