General Information
Term adult doublesex pCd (female) neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047353 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Doublesex-expressing neuron of the female that is part of a cluster in the superior medial protocerebrum (Rideout et al., 2010). There are fewer of these cells in the female (approximately 12) than pCd (male) neurons in the male (approximately 16) (Robinett et al., 2010; Kimura et al., 2015). Four of these cells per hemisphere arise from the DM2 (DPMpm1) neuroblast (Ren et al., 2016).[ FlyBase:FBrf0210397 FlyBase:FBrf0210735 FlyBase:FBrf0228365 FlyBase:FBrf0233706 FlyBase:FBrf0234085 ]
