Working models of Notch signalling during the transition of neural stem cell states. Two models showing the progression of the transition between NE cells into NBs. a Long-range activation of Notch signalling in PI progenitors can be controlled by L’sc in PII progenitors. L’sc regulates neur expression that activates Dl function. b Activation of Notch signalling is regulated by L’sc-positive/Neur-positive/Dl-positive PII progenitors inducing Dl expression in the closer neighbour and generating a gradient of E(spl)mγ expression in PI progenitors. In both models, PII progenitors are able to induce the PII fate in PI progenitor, while PI progenitors promote NE cells transformation intro PI state. When PII progenitors convert into NB, PI progenitors replace PII progenitors and NE cells convert into PI progenitors, promoting the progression of the proneural wave
