Abstract
Bicoid is famous for its role in early embryo patterning of Drosophila by activating Hunchback expression to establish the anterior-posterior axis. A new study found that in a type of post-mitotic neuron Hunchback conversely activates Bicoid expression to regulate synapse targeting and locomotor behavior.
