General Information
|
| Term |
descending neuron of the gnathal ganglion DNg55 |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:20007500 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Adult descending neuron with its soma in the gnathal ganglion, ventral-lateral to the prow (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion and the saddle, and postsynapses also in the flange (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the VNC, it follows the median dorsal abdominal tract (Sturner et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 1-2 of these cells per organism (Sturner et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0260559 ] |
| Also Known As |
"adult major bolt protocerebral neuron output descending neuron 3" ; "BDN3 neuron" ; "DNg55" (for all, see Synonyms field below) |
| Comment |
Type identified at light level and matched across EM datasets by Sturner et al. (2024). Pre- or post-synapse locations are the fewest regions that collectively contain at least 80 percent of all pre- or post-synapses of these neurons in FlyWire. Full name for BDN3 from codex (2025-03-04). |
