The midline of the Drosophila central nervous system: a model for the genetic analysis of cell fate, cell migration, and growth cone guidance.

Cell - 22 Feb 1991

Klämbt C, Jacobs J R, Goodman C S

Abstract excerpt

A row of mesectodermal cells separates the two lateral neurogenic regions in the Drosophila embryo and generates a discrete set of glia and neurons. Most CNS growth cones initially head straight toward the midline, suggesting that these midline cells play a key role in the formation of the axon commissures. We have used antibodies that stain the first axons, beta-galactosidase enhancer trap lines that selectively...
