Abstract
⺠Axonal tracts form in the same sequence in spiders, insects and crustaceans. ⺠Cs netrin expression is adapted to the morphology of the spider ventral midline. ⺠Cs netrin shows a conserved function in axonal guidance at the ventral midline. ⺠We show a novel function of Cs netrin in the formation of glial sheath cells. ⺠Loss of glial sheath cells leads to premature segregation of neural precursors.
