Pcv9 neuroblast

ID: FBbt_00006006

Neuroblast of the ventral central protocerebrum (Urbach et al., 2003) that produces larval Kenyon cells that have their cell bodies in a relatively medial cluster (Kunz et al., 2012). It also produces non-Kenyon cells, including a characteristic type of primary neuron that exits the mushroom body pedunculus at the spur region and does not innervate the lobes (Kunz et al., 2012).

Numbering also indicates relative position: we follow the nomenclature of Urbach et al. (2003), in which neuroblasts are numbered from anterior-to-posterior and ventral-to-dorsal (so that numbers reflect relative positions along the dorsoventral axis). Figure 1 of Urbach et al., 2003, provides a survey of the spatial organization of the embryonic head and brain neuroblasts of a stage 11 embryo.
