neuroblast NB3-3 [FBbt_00001422]

Neuroblast that delaminates predominantly at S4 (Schmid et al., 1999). Its first embryonic division produces a ganglion mother cell, which generates a motor neuron (Baumgardt et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2022. Subsequent divisions are type 0, self-renewing and directly producing EL neurons as a Notch OFF hemilineage (Baumgardt et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2022. In the embryo, one of these neuroblasts can be found in each hemisegment from S2-A9 (Birkholz et al., 2013; Urbach et al., 2016. In the larva, it resumes proliferation in all thoracic segments (Lacin and Truman, 2016. The neurons that develop from this neuroblast after larval hatching form postembryonic lineage 8 (Lacin and Truman, 2016. (Birkholz et al., 2013, Baumgardt et al., 2014, Truman et al., 2004, Birkholz et al., 2015, Schmidt et al., 1997, Lacin and Truman, 2016, Wang et al., 2022, Urbach et al., 2016)
