General Information
Term descending neuron of the gnathal ganglion DNg40 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047632 (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). 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 mechanosensory and motor center, wedge, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, gorget, gnathal ganglion and lower tectulum (Namiki et al., 2018). It fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of the ventral 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 cholinergic and glutamatergic (Cheong et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0239335 ]
