Fine-tuning neuron number: Lzts as a key regulator of neurogenesis and cell proliferation in Ciona

How progenitor mitotic timing is coupled to the number of neurons in a nervous system remains poorly understood, in part because most model systems have large, variable progenitor pools that obscure this relationship. The non-vertebrate chordate Ciona robusta offers a tractable alternative: its larval nervous system ar...
