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. (Kunz et al., 2012, Urbach et al., 2003)

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.
