adult doublesex pC1d (female) neuron

ID: FBbt_00049925

Adult doublesex pC1 neuron of the female that, similar to pC1a and pC1e, has a contralateral projection that extends further laterally than that of pC1b and pC1c and lacks a characteristic branch into the dorsal ipsilateral superior lateral protocerebrum (Wang et al., 2020). Its contralateral branch crosses the midline at the level of the superior medial protocerebrum (Wang et al., 2020). Unlike pC1a, it projects ventromedially towards the esophageal foramen, with more extensive and more ventral arborization than pC1e (Wang et al., 2020). There is one of these cells per hemisphere and it is cholinergic (Schretter et al., 2020). It promotes female aggression (Schretter et al., 2020).

Might also express fru (Schretter et al., 2020).
