FGF receptors are required for proper axonal branch targeting in Drosophila

Abstract Proper axonal branch growth and targeting are essential for establishing a hard-wired neural circuit. Here, we examined the role of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) in axonal arbor development using loss of function and overexpression genetic analyses within single neurons. We use...
