Abstract excerpt
The great majority of neurons in the Drosophila embryonic CNS are generated through two successive asymmetric cell divisions; neuroblasts (NBs) divide to produce another NB and a smaller ganglion mother cell (GMC); GMCs divide to generate two sibling neurons which can adopt distinct identities. During the division of the first born GMC from the NB4-2 lineage, GMC4-2a, Inscuteable (Insc) is localised to the apical...
