The Drosophila optic lobe comprises a wide variety of neurons, which form laminar
neuropiles with columnar units and topographic projections from the retina. The Drosophila …

The brain consists of various types of neurons that are generated from neural stem cells;
however, the mechanisms underlying neuronal diversity remain uncertain. A recent study …

Visual information processing in animals with large image forming eyes is carried out in
highly structured retinotopically ordered neuropils. Visual neuropils in Drosophila form the …

The Drosophila central brain consists of stereotyped neural lineages, developmental-
structural units of macrocircuitry formed by the sibling neurons of single progenitors called …

In the developing nervous system, building a functional neuronal network relies on
coordinating the formation, specification and survival to diverse neuronal and glial cell …

A stepwise morphogenetic program of ceil division and cell fate determination generates the
precise neuronal architecture of the visual centers of the Drosophila brain. Here, we show …

The brain areas that endow insects with the ability to see consist of remarkably complex
neural circuits. Reiterated arrays of many diverse neuron subtypes are assembled into …

The optic lobe forms a prominent compartment of the Drosophila adult brain that processes
visual input from the compound eye. Neurons of the optic lobe are produced during the …

How stem cells produce the huge diversity of neurons that form the visual system, and how
these cells are assembled in neural circuits are a critical question in developmental …

A row of mesectodermal cells separates the two lateral neurogenic regions in the Drosophila
embryo and generates a discrete set of glia and neurons. Most CNS growth cones initially …
