DNp12 [FBbt_00047645]

Descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body on the posterior surface of the brain. This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective. It has neurites in the saddle, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, wedge, gnathal ganglion, intermediate tectulum, T1 leg neuropil, T2 leg neuropil and T3 leg neuropil. It fasciculates with the intermediate tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord. There is one of these cells per hemisphere.
