DNp32 [FBbt_00047665]

Descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body on the posterior 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 antennal lobe, antler, inferior clamp, superior clamp, crepine, flange, prow, saddle, superior lateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, wedge, gorget, vest, gnathal ganglion, intermediate tectulum, T1 leg neuropil, T2 leg neuropil and T3 leg neuropil (Namiki et al., 2018. It fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of the ventral cervical fascicle and ventral medial tract of the ventral cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord (Namiki et al., 2018. There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018 and it produces myosuppressin (McKim et al., 2024). (Namiki et al., 2018)
