larval Va Capability neuron [FBbt_00110116]
larval Va Capability neuron
ID: FBbt_00110116
Larval Capability-expressing neurosecretory neuron whose cell body is located ventrally in an abdominal segment (Kean et al., 2002; Santos et al., 2007). Its axon projects dorsomedially, passing below the central intermediate and dorsal median tracts, to reach the midline near transverse projection 3, where it joins the axon of the contralateral Va neuron (Santos et al., 2007). The two axons project dorsally together a short distance before diverging and forming a loop inside the neuropil and dorsal cortex (Santos et al., 2007). The loop closes just before the neurites leave the ventral nerve cord and innervate an abdominal neurohemal organ (Santos et al., 2007). There is one of these neurons in each A2-A4 hemineuromere (Suska et al., 2011; Gabilondo et al., 2018).
