General Information
|
| Term |
DN2 neuron |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00003630 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Adult DN period neuron whose medium-sized cell body is located posteriolaterally in the dorsal superior brain (Helfrich-Forster, 2005). A dendritic lateral branch projects into the superior lateral protocerebrum, forming a characteristic loop towards, but not reaching, the ipsilateral anterior optic tubercle (Reinhard et al., 2022). It also has an axonal branch extending contralaterally, via the middle dorsal commissure, terminating in the superior medial protocerebrum just before reaching the contralateral DN2 cell bodies (Reinhard et al., 2022). It expresses Allatostatin C and Proctolin (Reinhard et al., 2024). There are 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Helfrich-Forster, 2005; Ma et al., 2021).[ FlyBase:FBrf0183981 FlyBase:FBrf0247880 FlyBase:FBrf0253505 FlyBase:FBrf0261099 ] |
| Also Known As |
"DN2" |
| Comment |
One cell is CRY negative, the other is weakly CRY positive, but they do not have morphological differences (Reinhard et al., 2022). |
