Abstract excerpt
Most of the gene candidates for the control of developmental programmes that underlie brain morphogenesis in vertebrates are the orthologues of Drosophila genes coding for signalling molecules or transcription factors. Among these, the orthodenticle group, including the Drosophila orthodenticle (otd) and the vertebrate Otx1 and Otx2 genes, is mostly involved in fundamental processes of anterior neural patterning....
