DNb02

ID: FBbt_00047583

Descending neuron belonging to the DNb group, having a cell body on the anterior ventral surface of the brain (Namiki et al., 2018). This neuron crosses the midline and descends on the contralateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018). It has neurites in the lateral accessory lobe, inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, epaulette, vest, gnathal ganglion, neck neuropil and haltere neuropil (Namiki et al., 2018). It fasciculates with the intermediate tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord (Namiki et al., 2018). It is glutamatergic (Cheong et al., 2024). There is a cluster of up to two of these cells in each hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018).

Namiki et al. (2018), identify this as being morphologically similar to fru-F-100073 and VGlut-F-300245, described by FlyCircuit (FBrf0212704).
