Abstract excerpt
The approximately 300 distinct neurons comprising each hemineuromere of the Drosophila embryonic central nervous system are derived from a segmentally reiterated array of approximately 30 progenitor cells, neuroblasts (NBs). Each NB has a unique identity and undergoes repeated cell divisions to p...
