This dissertation explores the genetic mechanisms regulating proliferation and cell specification in the Drosophila embryonic central nervous system (CNS). Utilizing the Drosophila model, the research identifies novel genes that influence neural cell specification and progenitor cell behavior. Key findings include the identification of the Ctr9 gene, part of the Paf1 complex, as crucial for CNS development, and the role of the transcription factor worniu in promoting neural proliferation. The study employs forward genetic screens to isolate genes affecting neural proliferation and lineage progression, providing insights relevant to both invertebrate and vertebrate CNS development. The intended audience includes researchers and students in genetics, neurobiology, and developmental biology.

This book focuses on the genetic regulation of central nervous system (CNS) development using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. It explores how neuroblasts (NBs) divide and differentiate to form the CNS, emphasizing the type I>0 switch in division modes. The research investigates the roles of the Notch pathway and the gene sequoia in regulating this switch, as well as the interplay between early and late factors that control lineage progression. The findings contribute to understanding how precise control of cell proliferation and differentiation is achieved, with implications for diseases like cancer and psychiatric disorders. The book is intended for researchers and students in developmental biology and neuroscience.
