General Information
Term descending neuron of the gnathal ganglion DNge050 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20007362 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult descending neuron of the DNge050 group, with its soma in the brain, ventral to the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has pre- and post-synapses in the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0260559 ]
Also Known As "adult major bolt protocerebral neuron output descending neuron 4" ; "BDN4 neuron" ; "DNge050"
Comment Cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024) and identified at light level by Sapkal et al. (2024). Soma location based on the closest annotated neuropil region. Neurotransmitter predictions are from Eckstein et al. (2024). Other annotations are based on annotations in FlyWire and are available in the supplemental material of Schlegel et al. (2024). Full name for BDN4 from codex (2025-03-04).
