General Information
Term descending neuron of the gnathal ganglion DNg57 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20007670 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult descending neuron with its soma posterior-lateral to the gnathal ganglion (Sterne et al., 2021; Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has bilateral dendritic and axonal arborization in the gnathal ganglion (Sterne et al., 2021; Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It descends on the contralateral side af the cervical connective, follows the ventral median tract of ventral cervical fasciculus and has presynapses in the ventral association center (Sterne et al., 2021; Sturner 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; Sturner et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0251280 FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 ]
Also Known As "adult bobber subesophageal neuron" ; "DNg57" ; "DNxn058"
