neuroblast NB5-1 [FBbt_00001424]

Neuroblast that delaminates at S5 in the medial column that generates approximately 6-9 local interneurons, some of which project across the posterior commissure (Schmid et al., 1999. In the embryo, one of these cells can be found in each hemisegment from S2-A8 (Birkholz et al., 2013; Urbach et al., 2016. It does not generate a postembryonic lineage and, at least in thoracic segments, it is lost before the end of embryogenesis (Lacin and Truman, 2016. (Schmid et al., 1999, Birkholz et al., 2013, Schmidt et al., 1997, Birkholz et al., 2015, Urbach et al., 2016, Lacin and Truman, 2016)
