Abstract

In this issue of Cell, Wan et al. (2019) track comprehensively the development of individual neurons, along with their activity, during zebrafish spinal cord development. They find that mostly motor neurons are the founders of initially small neuronal-activity ensembles, coalescing into larger populations establishing the first motor patterns.
