Abstract
The proneural genes in Drosophila render ectodermal cells competent to adopt a neural fate. Moreover, they also initiate the program of mutual inhibition, which will ultimately lead to their own inactivation. Recent advances that elucidate the regulatory relationships between proneural and neurogenic genes are discussed.
