General Information
Term descending neuron of the gnathal ganglion DNg72 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20007674 (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 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 of the cervical connective, follows the dorsal median tract and sends output to the T1 leg neuropil (Sterne et al., 2021; Sturner et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 3-4 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 genie subesophageal neuron" ; "DNg72" ; "DNxl039"
