The abdomen of Drosophila: does planar cell polarity orient the neurons of mechanosensory bristles?

BACKGROUND: In the adult abdomen of Drosophila, the shafts of mechanosensory bristles point consistently from anterior to posterior. This is an example of planar cell polarity (PCP); some genes responsible for PCP have been identified. Each adult bristle is made by a clone of four cells, including t...
