embryonic fiber tract founder cluster [FBbt_00001605]
Cluster of typically 2-6 embryonic neuronal somata prior to axon outgrowth. Neurons of the founder clusters then extend axons that grow along the surface of the founder cluster and form a simple system of pioneer tracts for each of the components of the neuropil.

Anatomy
Cluster of typically 2-6 embryonic neuronal somata prior to axon outgrowth. Neurons of the founder clusters then extend axons that grow along the surface of the founder cluster and form a simple system of pioneer tracts for each of the components of the neuropil.
Nassif et al. (1998) use Fas2 (FBgn0000635) immunolabelling to visualize the founder clusters.
