Insights into the urbilaterian brain: conserved genetic patterning mechanisms in insect and vertebrate brain developmentR Lichtneckert
Institute of Zoology, Biozentrum Pharmazentrum, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 50, CH 4056 Basel, Switzerland
Heredity (Edinb) 94:465-77. 2005..Taken together, these findings demonstrate conserved genetic patterning mechanisms in insect and vertebrate brain development and suggest a monophyletic origin of the brain in protostome and deuterostome bilaterians...
Cell lineage-specific expression and function of the empty spiracles gene in adult brain development of Drosophila melanogasterRobert Lichtneckert
Biozentrum, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 50, CH 4056 Basel, Switzerland
Development 134:1291-300. 2007....
Anteroposterior regionalization of the brain: genetic and comparative aspectsRobert Lichtneckert
Biozentrum, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
Adv Exp Med Biol 628:32-41. 2008....
Arborization pattern of engrailed-positive neural lineages reveal neuromere boundaries in the Drosophila brain neuropilAbhilasha Kumar
Biozentrum, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
J Comp Neurol 517:87-104. 2009..This supports a model for neuromere-specific brain neuropil, in which a given lineage forms its proximal arborizations predominantly in the compartments that correspond to its neuromere of origin...
Empty spiracles is required for the development of olfactory projection neuron circuitry in DrosophilaRobert Lichtneckert
Biozentrum, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
Development 135:2415-24. 2008..The finding that Drosophila ems, like its murine homologs Emx1/2, is required for the formation of olfactory circuitry implies that conserved genetic programs control olfactory system development in insects and mammals...
Evolutionary conservation of the chromatin modulator Polycomb in the jellyfish Podocoryne carneaRobert Lichtneckert
Institute of Zoology, University of Basel, Biocenter/Pharmacenter, Klingelbergstrasse 50, 4056 Basel, Switzerland
Differentiation 70:422-8. 2002..In the transdifferentiation of activated isolated striated muscle of the medusa to smooth muscle and RFamide-positive nerve cells, Polycomb expression is strongly increased when differentiation into nerve cells occurs...
