DNp42 [FBbt_00052181]
Adult descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body on the posterior surface of the brain. It receives input in the anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Huoviala et al., 2020). It has axonal arborization in the tectulum, across all three thoracic neuromeres, and it also innervates the accessory mesothoracic neuromere and ventral association center (Huoviala et al., 2020). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Huoviala et al., 2020). It is involved in innate avoidance of odors during egg-laying (Huoviala et al., 2020).
