larval anterior large descending DN Tachykinin neuron
ID: FBbt_00110037
Larval neuron that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976), whose cell body is located in the anterior protocerebrum and that innervates the ventral nerve cord. At the third instar larval stage, these neurons also form arborizations at two sites near the midline of the protocerebrum and in the subesophageal ganglion. At the level of the ventral nerve cord, this neuron has one main axon and two additional processes, one longer and one shorter than the main axon. There is one of these neurons per hemisphere (Winther et al., 2003; Siviter et al., 2000. (Siviter et al., 2000)
Tachykinin expression was observed by in situ hybridization and immunostaining. This pair of neurons is present in all larval stages. Based on large size and position relative to other Tk neurons, this is probably the dimmed-expressing dTK/AstB neuron from Park et al., 2008 - FBrf0210278.
