DNa02

ID: FBbt_00047573

Descending neuron belonging to the DNa group, having a cell body on the anterior dorsal surface of the brain (Namiki et al., 2018). This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018). It has neurites in the lateral accessory lobe, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, epaulette, gorget, vest, gnathal ganglion, intermediate tectulum, T1 leg neuropil, T2 leg neuropil and T3 leg neuropil (Namiki et al., 2018). It fasciculates with the intermediate tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord (Namiki et al., 2018). It is cholinergic (Cheong et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018). It is involved in the control of rotational movement downstream of central complex neurons and odor stimuli (Rayshubskiy et al., 2025). It receives input from many other descending neurons (Li et al., 2020; Rayshubskiy et al., 2025). (Namiki et al., 2018, Li et al., 2020)
