General Information
Term descending neuron of the anterior dorsal brain DNa10 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047581 (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 crosses the midline and descends on the contralateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018). It has neurites in the antler, inferior bridge, saddle, superior medial protocerebrum, superior intermediate protocerebrum, optic tubercle, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, gnathal ganglion, neck neuropil, wing 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 ]
Also Known As "DNa10" ; "DNxn003"
Comment Namiki et al. (2018), identify this as being morphologically similar to VGlut-F-200121, described by FlyCircuit (FBrf0212704).
