General Information
Term brain ID (Ontology) FBbt:00005095 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Anterodorsal portion of the central nervous system. The neuromeres considered to be part of the brain vary by stage. In the larva, the cerebral (supraesophageal) neuromeres, which form a bilateral pair of lobes, constitute the brain (Urbach and Technau, 2003; Li et al., 2014; Crews, 2019). During metamorphosis, the gnathal ganglion separates from the prothoracic neuromere and fuses with the supraesophageal ganglion, to become the ventral part of the adult brain (Ito et al., 2014; Hartenstein et al., 2018; Kendroud et al., 2018).[ FlyBase:FBrf0161020 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 FlyBase:FBrf0225812 FlyBase:FBrf0237251 FlyBase:FBrf0237252 FlyBase:FBrf0244240 ]
