General Information
Term descending neuron of the pars intercerebralis DNc02 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047589 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Descending neuron belonging to the DNc group, having a cell body in the pars intercerebralis (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 antennal lobe, medulla, lobula plate, lobula, mushroom body calyx, fan-shaped body, protocerebral bridge, inferior clamp, flange, prow, saddle, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, superior medial protocerebrum, superior intermediate protocerebrum, superior lateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, wedge, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, gorget, vest, gnathal ganglion, neck neuropil, wing neuropil, haltere neuropil, intermediate tectulum, lower tectulum, abdominal neuromere, T1 leg neuropil, T2 leg neuropil, T3 leg neuropil, wing sensory neuropil, T1 median ventral association center, T2 median ventral association center and T3 median ventral association center (Namiki et al., 2018). It fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord (Namiki et al., 2018). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018). It is an SIFa neuron (Bates et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0239335 ]
