The paper identifies a third temporal patterning axis in Drosophila medulla neuroblasts regulated by Imp and Syp, generating seven distinct neuronal cell types with specific developmental and spatial identities.

The paper presents a split-GAL4 driver library for targeting neuronal lineages in Drosophila VNC, enabling analysis of morphology, neurochemistry, and behavior.

This study shows that Mint/PDZ domains from non-bilaterian animals bind CaV2 channel C-termini in vitro, suggesting an ancient interaction with evolutionary changes in binding specificity.

The paper identifies spatial subdomains in the Drosophila medulla and links patterning mechanisms to terminal selector expression in neuronal types.

The paper uses scRNA-seq to generate cell-type-specific split-GAL4 reagents for Drosophila development, demonstrating their effectiveness in targeting known cell types and identifying novel ones.
