General Information
Term larval VNC astrocyte-like glial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00052372 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Astrocyte-like glial cell of the larval ventral nerve cord. It has a prominent process extending into the neuropil proximal to its nucleus (Pogodalla et al., 2021). There are approximately 6 of these cells in each hemineuromere throughout larval development, found in fixed locations: 3 dorsal, 2 lateral and one ventral (Peco et al., 2016). They develop from prospero-expressing interface glia (Peco et al., 2016).[ FlyBase:FBrf0231858 FlyBase:FBrf0251788 ]
Also Known As "embryonic/larval ventral nerve cord astrocyte-like neuropil associated glial cell" ; "embryonic/larval ventral nerve cord reticulated neuropil associated glial cell"
