Abstract excerpt
The progenitors of the Drosophila central nervous system (CNS), called neuroblasts, segregate from the neurectoderm of the early embryo in a stereotyped pattern. The neuroblasts that give rise to the brain segregate from the procephalic neurectoderm and form three neuromeres, called protocerebrum...
