medial-most cell body glial cell [FBbt_00001299]

Cell body glial cell that lies close to the midline of the embryonic/larval ventral nerve cord. It lies between 10-20% along the mediolateral axis, and at approximately 50% along the anterioposterior axis, and flanks the ventral unpaired median (VUM) neuron cluster on the midline. In the early larva, each thoracic hemineuromere has two medial-most cell body glial cells, whilst each abdominal hemineuromere has one (Ito et al., 1995. It develops from the NB6-4 neuroblast (Beckervordersandforth et al., 2008. (Beckervordersandforth et al., 2008, Klambt and Goodman, 1991, Ito et al., 1995, Hartenstein, 2011, Menne and Klambt, 1994)
