Journal ArticleDOI

The homeobox gene Phox2b is essential for the development of autonomic neural crest derivatives

TL;DR: It is shown that all autonomic ganglia fail to form properly and degenerate in mice lacking the homeodomain transcription factor Phox2b, as do the three cranial sensory ganglia that are part of the autonomic reflex circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression and interactions of the two closely related homeobox genes Phox2a and Phox2b during neurogenesis

TL;DR: Phox2b links early patterning events to the differentiation of defined neuronal populations in the hindbrain, suggesting a broader role for Phox1 genes in the specification of the autonomic nervous system and cranial motor nuclei than revealed by the Phox2a knock-out mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phox2b controls the development of peripheral chemoreceptors and afferent visceral pathways

TL;DR: It is reported that the afferent relays of visceral reflexes, differentiate under the control of the paired-like homeobox gene Phox2b: the neural crest-derived carotid body, a chemosensor organ, degenerates in homozygous mutants, as do the three epibranchial placode-derived visceral sensory ganglia (geniculate, petrosal and nodose).
Journal ArticleDOI

Different levels of repressor activity assign redundant and specific roles to Nkx6 genes in motor neuron and interneuron specification.

TL;DR: A reduction in Nkx6 activity further permits V0 neurons to be generated from progenitors that lack homeodomain proteins normally required for their generation, providing direct evidence for a model in which progenitor homeodOMain proteins direct specific cell fates by actively suppressing the expression of transcription factors that direct alternative fates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phox2 genes - from patterning to connectivity.

TL;DR: What recent work on the two neuronal-type-specific transcription factors Phox2a andPhox2b has contributed to understanding of the logic in the transcriptional control of neuronal differentiation is reviewed.
