larval corpus allatum innervating neuron CA-LP 1

ID: FBbt_00007461

Larval neurosecretory neuron whose soma is located in the cortex of the antero-dorsal region of the lateral protocerebrum, medial to CA-LP 2, and whose axon projects to the corpus allatum (Siegmund and Korge, 2001). Its axon runs caudally on a slightly curved path to join the nervus corporis cardiaci (Siegmund and Korge, 2001). It passes the corpus cardiacum and the lateral limb of the prothoracic gland to reach the corpus allatum, where it has its peptide release sites (Siegmund and Korge, 2001; Huckesfeld et al., 2021). It expresses Diuretic hormone 31 (Dh31) (Kurogi et al., 2023). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Siegmund and Korge, 2001).

Neuropeptide could not be unambiguously identified, but found to express Burs-Gal4 by Huckesfeld et al. (2021).
