General Information
Term descending neuron of the posterior brain DNp13 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047646 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Doublesex-expressing adult descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body in the posterior medial protocerebrum, ventral to the pC1 cluster (Robinett et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2020). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Robinett et al., 2010) and it has a sexually dimorphic branching pattern (Kimura et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2020) and different functions in the male and female (Takayanagi-Kiya and Kiya, 2019; Wang et al., 2020).[ FlyBase:FBrf0210735 FlyBase:FBrf0228365 FlyBase:FBrf0246914 ]
Also Known As"adult doublesex pMN1 neuron" ; "DNp13" ; "DNxn031" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
CommentNamiki et al. (2018) (FBrf0239335) data is for DNp13 (female) according to methods and comparison to Figure S2 in Wang et al. (2020).
