Compartmentalization of visual centers in the Drosophila brain requires Slit and Robo proteins.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Dec 2004

Tayler Timothy D, Robichaux Myles B, Garrity Paul A

Abstract excerpt

Brain morphogenesis depends on the maintenance of boundaries between populations of non-intermingling cells. We used molecular markers to characterize a boundary within the optic lobe of the Drosophila brain and found that Slit and the Robo family of receptors, well-known regulators of axon guidance and neuronal migration, inhibit the mixing of adjacent cell populations in the developing optic lobe. Our data...
