Segmental determination of sensory neurons in Drosophila.
The analysis of flies where one segment is transformed into another by mutation or by experimental treatment shows that the central projection of a sensory neuron depends on its segmental determination. The genetic functions that control the segmental determination of neurons and of epidermal cells appear to be distinct, but they have common regulatory features.
