ABSTRACT Gene regulatory mechanisms that specify subtype identity of central complex (CX) neurons are the subject intense investigation. The CX is a compartment within brain common to all insect species and functions as ‘command center’ directs motor actions. It made up several thousand neurons, with more than 60 morphologically distinct identities. Accordingly, transcriptional programs must effect specification at least many neuronal subtypes. We demonstrate role for transcription factor...
Abstract Individual cell types are specified by transcriptional programs which act during development. Gene regulatory mechanisms specify subtype identity of central complex (CX) neurons the subject intense investigation. The CX is a compartment within brain common to all insect species. functions as “command center” initiating motor actions in response incoming information. made up several thousand with more than 60 morphologically distinct identities. Accordingly, must effect specification...
