General Information
Term descending neuron of the anterior ventral brain DNb04 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047585 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Descending neuron belonging to the DNb group, having a cell body on the anterior ventral surface of the brain (Namiki et al., 2018). This neuron crosses the midline and descends on the contralateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018). It has neurites in the antler, inferior bridge, saddle, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, gnathal ganglion, neck neuropil, wing neuropil and intermediate tectulum (Namiki et al., 2018). It fasciculates with the median tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord (Namiki et al., 2018). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018). It is glutamatergic (Cheong et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0239335 ]
