The development of the adult nervous system in the annelid Owenia fusiformis
The evolutionary origins of animal nervous systems remain contentious because we still have a limited understanding of neural development in most major animal clades. Annelids — a species-rich group with centr... (Source: Neural Development)

Loss of G9a does not phenocopy the requirement for Prdm12 in the development of the nociceptive neuron lineage
Prdm12 is an epigenetic regulator expressed in developing and mature nociceptive neurons, playing a key role in their specification during neurogenesis and modulating pain sensation at adulthood. In vitro stud... (Source: Neural Development)

Imp is expressed in INPs and newborn neurons where it regulates neuropil targeting in the central complex
The generation of neuronal diversity remains incompletely understood. In Drosophila, the central brain is populated by neural stem cells derived from progenitors called neuroblasts (NBs). There are two types of N... (Source: Neural Development)

Molecular analyses of zebrafish V0v spinal interneurons and identification of transcriptional regulators downstream of Evx1 and Evx2 in these cells
V0v spinal interneurons are highly conserved, glutamatergic, commissural neurons that function in locomotor circuits. We have previously shown that Evx1 and Evx2 are required to specify the neurotransmitter ph... (Source: Neural Development)

Neocortex neurogenesis and maturation in the African greater cane rat
Neocortex development has been extensively studied in altricial rodents such as mouse and rat. Identification of alternative animal models along the “altricial-precocial” spectrum in order to better model and ... (Source: Neural Development)

Drosophila CASK regulates brain size and neuronal morphogenesis, providing a genetic model of postnatal microcephaly suitable for drug discovery
CASK-related neurodevelopmental disorders are untreatable. Affected children show variable severity, with microcephaly, intellectual disability (ID), and short stature as common features. X-linked human CASK show... (Source: Neural Development)

Distinct requirements for Tcf3 and Tcf12 during oligodendrocyte development in the mouse telencephalon
E-proteins encoded by Tcf3, Tcf4, and Tcf12 are class I basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) that are thought to be widely expressed during development. However, their function in the develop... (Source: Neural Development)
