General Information
Term descending neuron of the anterior dorsal brain DNa04 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047575 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Descending neuron belonging to the DNa group, having a cell body on the anterior dorsal surface of the brain (Namiki et al., 2018). This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018). It has neurites in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, epaulette, gnathal ganglion, neck neuropil, wing neuropil, haltere neuropil and intermediate tectulum (Namiki et al., 2018). It fasciculates with the median tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord (Namiki et al., 2018). It is cholinergic (Cheong et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018).[ FlyBase:FBrf0239335 ]
