Curr Biol 23 (2013), 1908–1913 This study addressed the relative contribution of intrinsic versus extrinsic cues during temporal patterning in mushroom body neuroblasts, which have prolonged temporal windows. It showed that unknown extrinsic signals regulate temporal transitions in the mushroom body, which is in contrast to antennal lobe lineages where similar environmental manipulations did not alter the numbers or types of progeny produced by a neuroblast.

Cell Rep 3 (2013), 587–594 This study showed that in the optic lobes while neuroepithelial proliferation is sensitive to nutrient conditions, neuroblast proliferation is not, thus neuronal diversity is preserved under nutrient-poor conditions.

Science 350 (2015), 317–320 This study showed that the high-to-low and low-to-high gradients of the RNA-binding proteins Imp and Syp, respectively, regulate temporal identity by regulating Chinmo expression. Thus other factors, which affect post-transcriptional regulation, and not just tTFs are important for temporal fate specification.
