neuroblast NB5-2

ID: FBbt_00001376

Neuroblast that delaminates at stage 1 in the medial column (Hartenstein and Campos-Ortega, 1984. It generates a single motorneuron innervating muscle 12 via the SNb and a large number of interneurons, which constitute most of 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. In the larva, it resumes proliferation in at least S3-A7 (Lacin and Truman, 2016. The neurons that develop from this neuroblast after larval hatching form postembryonic lineage 6 (Lacin and Truman, 2016. (Schmid et al., 1999, Hartenstein and Campos-Ortega, 1984, Urbach et al., 2016, Broadus et al., 1995, Birkholz et al., 2013, Truman et al., 2004, Hartenstein et al., 1994, Lacin and Truman, 2016, Doe, 1992, Birkholz et al., 2015)

This is equivalent to the 'ventromedial neuroblast' of Truman and Bate, 1988 - FBrf0047815, due to existence in A2-7 and its relatively medial location (Lacin and Truman, 2016. Lacin and Truman, 2016 do not show data for neuromeres anterior to S3 (labial) or posterior to A7.
