Term LN Pdf neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003762 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Lateral period-expressing neuron (LN) of the adult brain that also expresses Pigment-dispersing factor (Helfrich-Forster, 1997). These neurons also express cryptochrome and Rhodopsin 7, which allow them to respond to high frequency (blue) visible light (Ni et al., 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0093121 FlyBase:FBrf0235590 ]
Also Known As"PDFMe" ; "pigment-dispersing hormone-immunoreactive neuron close to medulla"
