Description: Single neuron, situated in the dorsal ganglion. RID sister undergoes apoptosis during embryonic development. RID has a short dorsal process and a long ventral process. In 90% of animals the ventral process of RID runs down on the left side of the NR and enters the VNC on the same side. In the remaining 10% it runs down on the right side and enters the nerve ring on the right (pers. comm. M. Zhen; Wang et al., 2016). The process then exits the VNC via the same-side amphid commissure and continues as a commissure to reach the DC and runs along the length of the DC.
