Abstract excerpt
A row of midline precursor cells separates the two lateral neurogenic regions that give rise to most of the Drosophila CNS. From these midline precursors arises a discrete set of special glia and neurons. The growth cones of many CNS neurons initially head straight towards the midline and change their behavior after traversing it, leading to the hypothesis that these midline cells play a key role in the formation...
