Abstract excerpt
Adult specific neurons in the central nervous system of holometabolous insects are generated by the postembryonic divisions of neuronal stem cells (neuroblasts). In the ventral nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster, sex-specific divisions by a set of abdominal neuroblasts occur during larval and early pupal stages. Animals mutant for several sex-determining genes were analyzed to determine the genetic...
