| Term |
apterous-expressing neuron of the lateral cluster of the thorax Ap4 |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00110872 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Apterous-expressing neuron of the lateral cluster that expresses the neuropeptide FMRFamide and is the last neuron of the cluster to be generated, after the Ap3 neuron (Benveniste et al., 1998; Baumgardt et al., 2007; Baumgardt et al., 2009). It projects its axon medially, below the ventrolateral, central lateral and central intermediate tracts and approaches the dorsal median tract from below, where it arborizes extensively (Santos et al., 2007). Unlike other Ap neurons, it innervates a thoracic dorsal neurohemal organ (Baumgardt et al., 2007).[ FlyBase:FBrf0106026 FlyBase:FBrf0167500 FlyBase:FBrf0184217 FlyBase:FBrf0195184 FlyBase:FBrf0201188 FlyBase:FBrf0209429 ] |
| Also Known As |
"Ap4 neuron" ; "Ap4/FMRFa neuron" ; "dFMRFa neuron" (for all, see Synonyms field below) |
| Comment |
This neuron has been identified as neurosecretory because it expresses the neuropeptide FMRFamide (FBgn0000715) and innervates a neurohemal organ (Benveniste et al., 1998; Marques et al., 2003; Santos et al., 2007). |
