Dd6 neuroblast

ID: FBbt_00005952

Neuroblast 6 of the dorsal deutocerebrum. It displays serial homology to NB3-3 (Urbach et al., 2016). It delaminates in late embryonic stage 9 (Urbach et al., 2016).

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. Urbach et al. (2016) could not unambiguously assign NB3-3 to either Dd3 or Dd6.
