title: Neuronal development: putting motor neurons in their place.
abstract: In the developing spinal cord, motor neurons occupy discrete columns with different identities and axon projections. This organisation has now been shown to depend crucially on sequential phases of expression of Hox-c proteins, generated in response to fibroblast growth factor signals.
