General Information
Term descending neuron of the anterior ventral brain DNb08 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20011340 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult descending neuron of the anterior ventral brain (Sturner et al., 2024). It is a putative primary neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has presynapses in the gnathal ganglion, and the ipsilateral wedge, vest and flange, and postsynapses in the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the dorsal median tract 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 4 of these cells per organism (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 ]
Also Known As "DNb08" ; "DNxl027"
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.
