Figure represents the complexity of neuron development in fruit flies' brain.

Caption

Neurons in the fruit fly brain are made by passing through various differentiation states, and are segregated into unique subtypes based on the age and cell division number of their mother cell (progenitor). The complexity of this process is modelled in the diagram above. Different RNAs play a role in these neuron formation steps. This study
