The relatively simple central nervous system (CNS) of the Drosophila embryo provides a useful model system for investigating the mechanisms that generate and pattern complex nervous systems. Central to the generation of different types of neurons by precursor neuroblasts is the initial specification
The extent of neurogenesis in Drosophila is under the control of the so-called neurogenic genes, named for their mutant phenotype of causing neural hyperplasia. Their wild-type products appear to be responsible for a signal chain that decides the fate of ectodermal cells in the embryo. Various kinds
