General Information
Term descending neuron of the posterior brain DNp36 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00052715 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Sexually-dimorphic descending neuron of the posterior brain (Lillvis et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2024). It is a fruitless neuron that develops from the first intermediate neural progenitor to form from neuroblast DM6 during the larval stage (Ren et al., 2016). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Cachero et al., 2010; Ren et al., 2016; Sturner et al., 2024) and it is part of the pMP-f cluster (Ren et al., 2016).[ FlyBase:FBrf0128543 FlyBase:FBrf0205974 FlyBase:FBrf0211884 FlyBase:FBrf0211926 FlyBase:FBrf0233706 FlyBase:FBrf0258823 ]
Also Known As "adult fruitless pIP-h neuron" ; "adult fruitless pIP9 neuron" ; "DNp36" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
