General Information
Term descending neuron of the posterior brain DNpe004 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20007535 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult descending neuron of the DNpe004 group, with its soma in the brain, posterior to the superior posterior slope (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 postsynapses in the ipsilateral superior posterior slope and the ipsilateral inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has presynapses in the ipsilateral superior posterior slope, the ipsilateral inferior posterior slope and the gnathal ganglia (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 ]
Also Known As "DNpe004"
Comment Uncharacterized putative cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Soma locations are based on the closest annotated neuropil region. 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. 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).
