General Information
Term adult doublesex pC1 (male) neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047348 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Doublesex-expressing neuron of the male that is part of a cluster in the posterior medial region of the protocerebrum. There are approximately 60 of these cells per hemisphere (Zhou et al., 2014; Kimura et al., 2015; Pavlou et al., 2016; Ren et al., 2016). Many of these are activated by the presence of females, but not males (Takayanagi-Kiya and Kiya, 2019). Most pC1 cells are derived from the DM4 neuroblast, but one male-specific cell arises from DM6 (Ren et al., 2016).[ FlyBase:FBrf0159058 FlyBase:FBrf0210397 FlyBase:FBrf0210735 FlyBase:FBrf0225543 FlyBase:FBrf0228365 FlyBase:FBrf0233706 FlyBase:FBrf0234085 FlyBase:FBrf0241873 ]
Also Known As "doublesex-expressing posterior Cells-1 (male)" ; "dsx-expressing posterior Cells-1 (male)" ; "dsx-pC1 (male)"
