Cell fate decisions in the grasshopper central nervous system.
The central nervous system (CNS) of grasshopper embryos is similar in organization to the embryonic Drosophila CNS, but its neurons are much larger. The recent development of a culture system in which extensive CNS development occurs has allowed new types of experiments to be performed, including perturbation of gene expression within single neuroblast lineages.
