General Information
Term adult doublesex pLN (male) neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047370 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Doublesex-expressing neuron of the adult male found in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, ventral to the pC2 cluster. There is one of these neurons per hemisphere (Robinett et al., 2010; Kimura et al., 2015).[ FlyBase:FBrf0210735 FlyBase:FBrf0228365 ]
Also Known As"doublesex-expressing posterior Lateral Neuron" ; "dsx-expressing posterior Lateral Neuron" ; "dsx-pLN"
CommentOriginally considered part of the pC2 cluster. Authors of FBrf0210735 do not explicitly state whether this class exists in the female, which implies that it does not - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1373-1705.
