Spatial, temporal and Notch determination of terminal selector expression controls neuronal cell fate in the Drosophila optic lobe

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 16 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02256-6

The authors characterized the spatial origin of Drosophila medulla neurons, completing their previous characterization of the temporal and Notch origins of these neurons and allowing them to correlate patterning of progenitors and neuronal type-specific features.
