General Information
|
| Term |
adult abdominal ventral anterior lateral (female) dsx/Mip neuron |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00047368 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Doublesex and myoinhibitory peptide (Mip)-expressing local interneuron of the adult female that has its soma in a relatively ventral and lateral location in the anterior abdominal neuromere (Jang et al., 2017). There are two of these cells per hemisphere in the female and there is no male equivalent (Jang et al., 2017). It extensively innervates the abdominal ganglion, where it has input and output terminals, it also sends an axon along the midline to the metathoracic neuromere, where it has presynaptic terminals (Jang et al., 2017). Its activity is required for normal mating receptivity in virgin flies (Jang et al., 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0237271 ] |
| Also Known As |
"vAL neuron" ; "ventral abdominal lateral neuron" ; "ventral anterior lateral neuron of the AG" |
| Comment |
AVAG cluster in Min et al. (2016) - FBrf0231362 includes this (vAL) and non-immunopositive vAM in Jiang et al. (2017). |
