The brain consists of thousands of neuronal types that are generated by stem cells producing different neuronal types as they age. In Drosophila, this temporal patterning is driven by the successive expression of temporal transcription factors …
How neurons are generated and diversified has long puzzled developmental neurobiologists. One of the outstanding process is that it is challenging to observe the earlier and not-yet-diversified progenitors. To overcome this, we devised a neural …
The Drosophila visual system integrates input from 800 ommatidia and extracts different features in stereotypically connected optic ganglia. The development of the Drosophila visual system is controlled by gene regulatory networks that control the …
