General Information
Term descending neuron of the outside anterior cluster DNd05 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20011339 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult descending neuron of the outside anterior cluster, with its soma medial to the mushroom body medial lobe (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses ipsilaterally in the superior medial protocerebrum, gorget, vest, inferior bridge, inferior clamp and superior posterior slope, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of ventral cervical fasciculus and sends output to the leg neuropil (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin 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:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 ]
Also Known As "DNd05" ; "DNxl026"
Comment Type identified at light level and matched across EM datasets by Sturner et al. (2024). Pre- or post-synapse locations are those with the highest total count of these neurons in FlyWire FAFB.
