## Abstract The tobacco hornworm moth, __Munducasexta__, shows extensive degeneration of abdominal neurons after the adult moth emerges (ecloses) from the old pupal skin. Death of interneurons begins about 2 hours before eclosion and continues through the next 30 hours. Motorneuron degeneration sta

During central nervous system (CNS) development, programmed cell death (PCD) has been viewed traditionally as a fate reserved for differentiating neurons that are in the process of making synaptic connections. Recent studies in the embryonic cerebral cortex Development 122:1165-1174), however, have
To understand the role apoptosis plays in nervous system development and to gain insight into the mechanisms by which steroid hormones regulate neuronal apoptosis, we investigated the death of a set of peptidergic neurons in the CNS of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster. Typically, apoptosis in Dr
