Abstract

A central question in developmental neurobiology concerns the mechanisms that generate cellular diversity in the vertebrate nervous system. Cell lineage analyses have established that many progenitor cells in the developing nervous system are multipotent (Turner and Cepko 1987; Holt et al. 1988; Wetts and Fraser 1988). However, the mechanisms that control the differentiation of such progenitor cells are poorly understood.
