General Information
|
| Term |
adult octopaminergic doublesex neuron of abdominal ganglion (female) |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00052015 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Adult female octopaminergic neuron of the abdominal neuromere that also expresses doublesex (Rezaval et al., 2014). There are approximately nine of these cells in each female organism (Rezaval et al., 2014). They project to the female reproductive system, collectively innervating the lateral oviducts, common oviduct, uterus, spermathecae, seminal receptacle and parovaria (Rezaval et al., 2014). These neurons are activated following mating and collectively mediate several post-mating responses (Rezaval et al., 2014; Yoshinari et al., 2020).[ FlyBase:FBrf0224568 FlyBase:FBrf0247023 ] |
| Also Known As |
"female Tdc2+ caudal cluster neuron" ; "Tdc2/dsx+ neuron (female)" |
| Comment |
Thought to be octopaminergic based on Tdc2-GAL4 expression (Rezaval et al., 2014). |
