larval corazonin neuron of pars lateralis

ID: FBbt_00052005

Larval corazonin-expressing neuron that has its soma in the pars lateralis (Siegmund and Korge, 2001. It projects to the ring gland, via the nervus corporis cardiaci, where it has peptide release sites in the aorta, corpus cardiacum, corpus allatum and the prothoracic gland (Siegmund and Korge, 2001; Imura et al., 2020; Huckesfeld et al., 2021; McKim et al., 2024). In the prothoracic gland, it makes contacts with the PTTH neurons, which express the corazonin receptor (Imura et al., 2020. There are three of these cells per hemisphere (Siegmund and Korge, 2001; Park et al., 2008; Imura et al., 2020. It also expresses short neuropeptide F (Park et al., 2008. (Hückesfeld et al., 2021, Siegmund and Korge, 2001, Imura et al., 2020, Park et al., 2008)
