Abstract
How can RNA processing direct specific aspects of nervous system development? In this issue of Neuron, Edenfeld et al. identified a novel function for two regulators of mRNA splicing in Drosophila: peripheral glial cells require Crooked neck (Crn) and Held out wings (HOW) to mediate migration and ensheathment of peripheral axons.
