KANAZAWA, Japan, Sept. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nature Communications the discovery that in the developing fly brain, neurons stemming from the same parent cell experience repulsion.This lineage-dependent repulsion is regulated by a protein known as Dscam1.

Key Points: 
  • KANAZAWA, Japan, Sept. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nature Communications the discovery that in the developing fly brain, neurons stemming from the same parent cell experience repulsion.This lineage-dependent repulsion is regulated by a protein known as Dscam1.
  • The brain's structure has columnar features, which are hypothesized to arise from nerve cells (neurons) stemming from the same parent cell, initially forming radial units.
  • (Axons or nerve fibers are long protrusions of nerve cells, the function of which is to conduct electrical signals).This finding corroborates the 'radial unit hypothesis', with the mechanism at play being lineage-dependent repulsion between sister neurons.
  • Dscam1 establishes the columnar units through lineage-dependent repulsion between sister neurons in the fly brain, Nature Communications 11, 4067 (2020).
