General Information
Term adult Epi descending neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00052624 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult descending neuron that has a large soma in the brain. Its dendrites are mainly found in the dorsal brain, including in the optic lobe and lateral horn (Liu et al., 2023). It has extensive axonal arborization in the brain, including the optic lobe, mushroom body and subesophageal zone, as well as all neuromeres of the ventral nerve cord (Liu et al., 2023). It responds to noxiously high temperatures via the painless receptor and releases Allatostatin C to alleviate thermal nociception (Liu et al., 2023). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Liu et al., 2023).[ FlyBase:FBrf0256813 ]
Also Known As "adult Epi DN" ; "Epione neuron"
