General Information
Term adult dorsal median tract ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047535 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Most medial continuation of fibers from the dorsal cervical fascicle into the adult ventral nerve cord (Power, 1948). It bows laterally in the mesothoracic region, but returns medially as it passes through the narrow region between the mesothoracic and metathoracic neuromeres (Power, 1948). At the level of the haltere nerve, it turns to run lateroposteriorly, giving off collaterals in the metathoracic neuromere and entering the metathoracic leg nerve (Power, 1948). It passes below the commissure of fine fibers, but above the metathoracic anterior intermediate (haltere) commissure (Power, 1948).[ FlyBase:FBrf0007196 FlyBase:FBrf0210897 FlyBase:FBrf0246815 ]
Also Known As "adult dorsal medial tract" ; "DMT" ; "dorsal median tract of dorsal cervical fasciculus" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
