Hi,
This partly depends on your definition of "length" in this context. In
terms of largest amount of total axon/dendrite length, this would most
probably be the PVDL/PVDR sensory neurons. They produce a large number of
branches of dendrites that act to perceive mechano- and thermosensation.
See the WormAtlas page here:
http://wormatlas.org/neurons/Individual%20Neurons/PVDframeset.html
If by "length" one means, absolute longest extension from head to tail,
that's a tougher call, as there are several that extend from the head to
the tail.
Cheers,
Chris
