Perturbed glial scaffold formation precedes axon tract malformation in Drosophila mutants.
Journal of neurobiology - 1 May 1993

Abstract excerpt
The longitudinal glia (LG), progeny of a single glioblast, form a scaffold that presages the formation of longitudinal tracts in the ventral nerve cord (VNC) of the Drosophila embryo. The LG are used as a substrate during the extension of the first axons of the longitudinal tract. I have examined the differentiation of the LG in six mutations in which the longitudinal tracts were absent, displaced, or interrupted...
