ID: FBbt_00047608

Adult Nervous system Neuron

Descending neuron belonging to the DNg group, having a cell body in the cell body rind around the gnathal ganglion. This neuron crosses the midline and descends on the contralateral side of the cervical connective. It has neurites in the gnathal ganglion, T1 leg neuropil, T2 leg neuropil and T3 leg neuropil. 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)

Namiki et al., 2018, identify this as being morphologically similar to VGlut-F-600012 and VGlut-F-200371, described by FlyCircuit (FBrf0212704).
