embryonic dorsal procephalic subperineural glial cell

ID: FBbt_00001245

Glial cell of the embryo that arises at the dorsoposterior edge of the protocerebrum (Hartenstein et al., 1998. At early stage 12 there are 2-3 cells, and this number increases to 5-6 (Hartenstein et al., 1998. Until stage 15, cells of this cluster stay together in a wedge-shaped formation, but later spread out to cover the dorso-posterior surface of the supraesophageal ganglion (Hartenstein et al., 1998. Most of these cells become larval surface glia, but some may become cell body glia (Hartenstein et al., 1998; Hartenstein et al., 2011). (Hartenstein et al., 1998, Hartenstein, 2011)
