The ontogeny of behavior in an organism must reflect developmental events in the nervous system, and it thus provides a noninvasive measure of neuronal development. This approach may be particularly fruitful in the medicinal leech because the neuronal basis of several behaviors has been characterize

We present a description of the last half of embryonic development in the European medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis, based entirely on externally visible morphological features, and establish reliably observable stages during that development. Embryogenesis, from the time fertilized eggs are depo
In Drosophila, dorsal mesodermal specification is regulated by the homeobox genes tinman and bagpipe. Vertebrate homologs of tinman and bagpipe have been isolated in various species. Moreover, there are at least four different genes related to tinman in the vertebrate, which indicates that this gene
