The differentiation between neuroglia and connective tissue sheath in insect ganglia revisited: the neural lamella and perineurial sheath cells are absent in a mesodermless mutant of Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

Two morphogenetic mutations, twist and Delta, that affect the embryonic development of Drosophila in known ways were used to examine the derivation and function of the outer layers of the central nervous system (CNS). Both the extracellular neural lamella, which ensheaths the CNS, and its source, the underlying perineurial sheath cell layer, fail to develop in Drosophila embryos that are homozygous for a loss of...
