Retinal progenitor cells have been shown to be multipotent throughout development. Similarly, many other structures of the developing central nervous system have been found to contain multipotent progenitor cells. Previous lineage studies did not address whether these multipotent progenitor cells were biased in their production of neuronal subtypes. This question is of interest because subtypes are the basis of distinct types of circuits. Here, lentivirus-mediated gene transfer was used to mark ...[more]
