embryonic GW neuron

ID: FBbt_00001586

Embryonic motor neuron precursor that develops from the first ganglion mother cell in the 7-3 lineage (GMC 7-3a) (Higashijima et al., 1996; Isshiki et al., 2001 and is the Notch ON descendent of this GMC (Lee and Lundell, 2007. One of these cells is produced in each thoracic, abdominal (A1-A8) and labial hemisegment (Higashijima et al., 1996; Rogulja-Ortmann et al., 2007; Rickert et al., 2018. It only develops into a larval neuron in segments S3-T2, in more posterior segments it undergoes programmed cell death (Rogulja-Ortmann et al., 2007; Rickert et al., 2018. (Rogulja-Ortmann et al., 2007, Rickert et al., 2018, Lee and Lundell, 2007, Isshiki et al., 2001, Higashijima et al., 1996, Schmid et al., 1999)

According to Schmid et al., 1999 this motorneuron projects out of the posterior root of the ISN, joining the ISNd branch and innervates muscles VO4-6. However, this neuron was not identified by Landgraf et al. (1997). Found (and survives) in labial, but not maxillary or mandibular segments (Rickert et al., 2018 - FBrf0238045).
