General Information
Term adult subesophageal Leucokinin neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00110056 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult neuron that expresses Leucokinin whose cell body is located in the ventromedial subesophageal zone (de Haro et al., 2010). In the brain, it arborizes bilaterally in the gnathal ganglion and tritocerebrum (de Haro et al., 2010). It follows the cervical connective to innervate the thoracic neuromeres (de Haro et al., 2010). It also exits the central nervous system to follow the maxillary and labro-frontal nerves (de Haro et al., 2010). There are two of these neurons per organism (Cavey et al., 2016).[ FlyBase:FBrf0155902 FlyBase:FBrf0209907 FlyBase:FBrf0231598 ]
Also Known As"adult leucokinin SELK neuron of the subesophageal ganglion" ; "adult Leucokinin SELK neuron of the subesophageal zone" ; "adult SELK neuron"
Commentde Haro et al. (2010) find 2-3 pairs with Lk-GAL4, Cavey et al. (2016) find one pair with Lk antibody.
