Patterning the mushroom body in the insect brain, the center for associative learning and memory that is modularly organized with spatially tiled dendrites of output neurons (MBONs) and axons of dopaminergic neurons (DANs):

"Slit regulates compartment-specific targeting of dendrites and axons in the Drosophila brain", Deng et al. 2024

Turns out same molecules are used, the Robo receptor and it's ligand Slit, that are used to pattern the nerve cord mediolaterally.
