General Information
Term	adult supraesophageal zone	ID (Ontology)	FBbt:00110638 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition	Neuropil mass above the esophagus in the adult brain. It is part of the cerebral ganglion.[ FlyBase:FBrf0224194 ]
Also Known As	"SPZ"
Comment	This term refers to what used to be called supraesophageal ganglion. The new name, together with subesophageal zone, refer to the neuropil masses above and below the esophagus and do not respect neuromere boundaries. The terms cerebral ganglia (CRG) and gnathal ganglia (GNG), denote regions that follow the segmental neuromeres of the brain (the 3 rostral and 3 caudal, respectively) (Ito et al., 2014).
