A discovery challenging conventional neurobiology has revealed that neurons control axon growth through a genetic switch within the cell body, rather than relying solely on guidance from the axon tip.

Molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) brain demonstrates that neurons retain a genetic record of their developmental origins, and that sex-specific behavioral circuits arise from a shared developmental template. Rather than building entirely separate circuits, sexual dimorphism in the brain is achieved through selective neuronal survival within shared cell lineages.
