adult allatostatin C DN1p neuron [FBbt_00052250]

DN1p neuron that expresses allatostatin C (AstC). It also expresses CNMa and Dh31 (Zhang et al., 2021). There are approximately 4-6 of these cells per DN1p cluster (Diaz et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2021). Some of these cells are anterior-projecting and some are ventro-contralateral-projecting (Zhang et al., 2021).

Adult Glutamatergic Nervous system Peptidergic

DN1p neuron that expresses allatostatin C (AstC). It also expresses CNMa and Dh31 (Zhang et al., 2021). There are approximately 4-6 of these cells per DN1p cluster (Diaz et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2021). Some of these cells are anterior-projecting and some are ventro-contralateral-projecting (Zhang et al., 2021).

Diaz et al. (2019) report 4 cells (which are also glutamatergic), Zhang et al. (2021) report 6. Based on images in these papers, it looks like 4 stain strongly for AstC and a couple more only stain weakly. Zhang et al. (2021) report innervation of the AOTU and PI, implying both a-DN1ps and vc-DN1ps are among these cells.
