▪ Abstract The generation of distinct classes of neurons at defined positions within the
developing vertebrate nervous system depends on inductive signals provided by local cell …

The generation of distinct neuronal cell types in appropriate numbers and at precise
positions underlies the assembly of neural circuits that encode animal behavior. Despite the …

Neural circuits are assembled with remarkable precision during embryonic development,
and the selectivity inherent in their formation helps to define the behavioural repertoire of the …

The cellular interactions that control the differentiation of dorsal cell types from neural
progenitors have been examined in neural plate explants. Certain genes that are expressed …

Abstract THE undecapeptide substance P (SP) may act as a transmitter released from the
terminals of primary sensory nerves in the spinal cord1–2. SP has been shown to be highly …

Inductive signals and transcription factors involved in motor neuron generation have been
identified, raising the question of whether these developmental insights can be used to …

Distinct neuronal cell types are generated at characteristic times and positions in the dorsal
horn of the spinal cord. We provide evidence that the identity and pattern of generation of …

In the developing nervous system, axons project considerable distances along stereotyped
pathways to reach their targets. Axon guidance depends partly on the recognition of cell …

The precision of skilled forelimb movement has long been presumed to rely on rapid
feedback corrections triggered by internally directed copies of outgoing motor commands …

Neurons that release serotonin as a neurotransmitter project to most regions of the central
and peripheral nervous system and mediate diverse neural functions. The physiological …
