Subpopulations of sensory neurons appear in embryonic dorsal root ganglia during development. In this paper, we examine what role neuron-target interactions play in this process. Previous work has shown that alterations in the environment of developing sensory neurons regulate the proportion of neur

## Abstract Proper wiring of the nervous system requires tight control of the number of nerve terminals that innervate a target tissue. Recent work by Deppmann et al.,1 now suggests that this is achieved by feedbackβmediated neuronal competition for targetβderived survival cues. The authors' model
## Abstract Astrocytes are the most numerous cell type within the central nervous system (CNS) and perform a variety of tasks, from axon guidance and synaptic support, to the control of the blood brain barrier and blood flow. To perform these roles, there is a great variety of astrocytes. In this r
