Before revision:  By providing a framework for a mechanistic understanding of how developmentshapes a nervous system, our results complement interpretive analysis of how efficiency and optimality govern its design . Providing crucial insights for understanding principles that may be common across URLanisms, our study shows how the trajectory in the developmental landscape constrains the eventual spatial and network URLanization of a nervous system.
