Dorsal view of a Drosophila larval brain stained for mitotic chromatin (magenta) and the neuronal marker Prospero (orange). Asymmetrically dividing stem cells expressing the Deadpan protein (cyan) are located within Prospero-positive regions in the central part of the brain and in the ventral ganglion. See Gallaud et al.
