Control of neuronal pathway selection by a Drosophila receptor protein-tyrosine kinase family member.

Abstract excerpt

During development, neurons are capable of selecting specific pathways that lead them to their appropriate target areas. A variety of molecular mechanisms are thought to be involved in pathway recognition, including cell adhesion, repulsion and chemotropism. However, apart from a few genes whose involvement has been shown genetically, the mechanisms underlying neuronal pathway selection are largely unknown. Here...
