Neuron - 1 Jan 1991

Abstract excerpt
We have examined the influence of retinal innervation on the development of target neurons in the first optic ganglion, the lamina, of D. melanogaster. Mitotically active lamina precursor cells (LPCs), which normally produce lamina neurons, are absent in mutants that lack retinal innervation, while other proliferative centers appear unaffected. Reducing the number of innervating photoreceptor axons results in...
