General Information
Term descending neuron of the gnathal ganglion DNg65 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20007507 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult descending neuron with its soma in the gnathal ganglion, ventral to the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the VNC, it follows the ventral lateral tract of ventral cervical fasciculus (Sturner et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is serotonin (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 ]
Also Known As "DNg65" ; "DNxl035"
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.
