| Term | descending neuron of the posterior brain DNp47 | ID (Ontology) | FBbt:20011348 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition | Adult descending neuron with its soma in the brain, posterior to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (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 in the ipsilateral superior posterior slope and inferior clamp, and presynapses in the ipsilateral superior posterior slope, the gnathal ganglion, the saddle and the ipsilateral inferior clamp (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 and lower tectulum (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 | "DNp47" ; "DNxn080" | ||
| 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. | ||
