| Term | descending neuron of the posterior brain DNp68 | ID (Ontology) | FBbt:20011358 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition | Adult descending neuron with its soma in the posterior brain, ventral to the mushroom body calyx (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the SMPpv2 lineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses ipsilaterally in the superior medial protocerebrum and inferior clamp, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion, the ipsilateral and contralateral superior posterior slope and the saddle (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the median dorsal abdominal tract and sends output to multiple regions (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 | "DNp68" ; "DNxn093" | ||
| 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. | ||
