DNa07

ID: FBbt_00047578

Descending neuron belonging to the DNa group, having a cell body on the anterior dorsal surface of the brain (Namiki et al., 2018). This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018). It has neurites in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, 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 (Schnell et al., 2017; Namiki et al., 2018). It controls rapid turning during flight (Schnell et al., 2017).

'AX' neuron, identified by Schnell et al. (2017), looks very similar to DNa07 and they use R56G08, which is also used as part of a split for DNa07 by Namiki et al. (2018).
