| Term |
larval mooncrawler descending neuron |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00048557 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Cholinergic descending neuron of the larva that can induce backwards locomotion in response to touch or blue light stimuli (Carreira-Rosario et al., 2018; Omamiuda-Ishikawa et al., 2020). Its cell body is found in the ventral anterior medial brain and its processes descend to abdominal neuromeres 3-5 in the ventral nerve cord (Carreira-Rosario et al., 2018). There are two per hemisphere, which can be distinguished by their ipsilateral arbor, which is either linear (MDNa) or bushy (MDNb) (Carreira-Rosario et al., 2018). It also projects via the posterior commissure to arborize contralaterally (Carreira-Rosario et al., 2018). A large proportion of its pre-synapses are to ThDN, pair1, and A18b neurons (Carreira-Rosario et al., 2018). It persists through metamorphosis and develops into an adult moonwalker descending neuron (Carreira-Rosario et al., 2018).[ FlyBase:FBrf0239825 FlyBase:FBrf0247105 ] |
