larval corpus cardiacum-innervating Hugin neuron [FBbt_00007468]

Larval neuron that expresses Hugin and whose soma is located in the cortex of the medial subesophageal ganglion, just below the esophageal foramen (Siegmund and Korge, 2001; Schlegel et al., 2016). It projects to the ring gland, where it has peptide release sites in the corpus cardiacum and aorta (Siegmund and Korge, 2001; Huckesfeld et al., 2021). The vast majority of its synaptic inputs are in the subesophageal zone, from interneurons, and it does not have synaptic outputs within the central nervous system (Schlegel et al., 2016). There are two of these cells per hemisphere (Siegmund and Korge, 2001; Schlegel et al., 2016).
