The nervous system of insects is profoundly reorganised during metamorphosis, affecting
the fate of different types of neuron in different ways. Almost all adult motor neurons derive …

This paper examines the hypothesis that intracellular calcium plays guiding roles in the
formation and adaptive modification of neural circuits in development and adult plasticity …

At adult emergence, the ventral CNS of Drosophila shows a group of approximately 300
neurons, which are unique in that they express 10-fold higher levels of the A isoform of the …

5. Cell death in the cortical subplate and future subcortical white matter 5.1. General aspects
of the cortical subplate 5.2. Structural organization of the rodent subplate and future …

Although cell death has long been recognized to be a significant element in the process of
embryonic morphogenesis, its relationships to differentiation and its mechanisms are only …

Ubiquitin, a highly conserved 76 amino acid protein, plays a role in targeting intracellular
proteins for degradation. Ubiquitin expression was examined during the developmentally …

During metamorphosis in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta, muscles of the abdominal body
wall undergo a reorganization. Many die at the end of larval life and are replaced in the adult …

During insect metamorphosis, neural and motor systems are remodeled to accommodate
behavioral transformations. Nerve and muscle cells that are required for larval behavior …

A single serotonin‐immunoreactive neuron in the antennal lobe (AL) of the brain of the
sphinx moth Manduca sexta is present in larval, pupal, and adult stages. This neuron has a …

The metamorphosis of insects is controlled by the blood titers of a small number of
developmental hormones including a class of steroids, the ecdysteroids. We have studied …
