title: Patterning cascades in the neural tube. Neural development.
abstract: The vertebrate central nervous system comprises an intricate array of neurons generated in a highly organized way. Examination of the genes expressed and required at early stages of neural differentiation reveals that a coordinated signalling cascade transforms progenitor cells into discrete neuronal subsets.
