DNp08

ID: FBbt_00047641

Descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body on the posterior surface of the brain (Namiki et al., 2018). This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018). It has neurites in the inferior bridge, saddle, superior posterior slope, epaulette, vest, gnathal ganglion and intermediate tectulum (Namiki et al., 2018). It fasciculates with the ventral lateral tract of the ventral cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord (Namiki et al., 2018). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018). It is cholinergic and glutamatergic (Cheong et al., 2024).

Namiki et al. (2018), identify this as being morphologically similar to VGlut-F-500767, described by FlyCircuit (FBrf0212704).
