title: Proneural, prosensory, antiglial: the many faces of neurogenins.
abstract: Previous reports have linked Neurogenin 1 with the general promotion of neurogenesis and gliogenesis. A new study in zebrafish, supported by recent findings in Drosophila, has now challenged this idea by demonstrating that the activity of Neurogenin 1 is limited to activation of development of two classes of sensory neurons.
