Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila central nervous system (CNS) develops from a heterogeneous population of neural stem cells (neuroblasts), yet the genes regulating neuroblast determination remain unknown. The segmentation gene wingless is regionally expressed in the neuroectoderm from which neuroblasts develop. A...
