DNa05

ID: FBbt_00047576

Descending neuron belonging to the DNa group, having a cell body on the anterior dorsal surface of the brain. This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective. It has neurites in the inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, gnathal ganglion, neck neuropil, wing neuropil, haltere neuropil and intermediate tectulum. It fasciculates with the median tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord. There is one of these cells per hemisphere.

Namiki et al. (2018), identify this as being morphologically similar to descending neuron dorsal cluster 2-2 (DNDC 2-2), described by Gronenberg and Strausfeld (1992) (FBrf0239828).
