General Information
Term descending neuron of the gnathal ganglion DNg11 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047603 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Descending neuron belonging to the DNg group, having a cell body in the cell body rind around the gnathal ganglion (Namiki et al., 2018). It has dendrites in the superior posterior slope and gnathal ganglion, mainly in the ipsilateral hemisphere, and a large axon descending on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective to the intermediate tectulum, spanning all three thoracic neuromeres (Namiki et al., 2018; Guo et al., 2022). An axon crosses the midline in the brain and is indirectly connected to contralateral DNg11 neurons (Guo et al., 2022). It fasciculates with the intermediate tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord (Namiki et al., 2018). There are usually three of these cells in each hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018; Guo et al., 2022). Its activity is associated with bilateral front leg grooming (Guo et al., 2022).[ FlyBase:FBrf0239335 FlyBase:FBrf0252837 ]
