DNg08 [FBbt_00047600]

Descending neuron belonging to the DNg group, having a cell body in the cell body rind around the gnathal ganglion. This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective. It has neurites in the saddle, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, inferior posterior slope, gnathal ganglion, neck neuropil, wing neuropil, haltere neuropil and intermediate tectulum. It fasciculates with the intermediate tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord. There is a cluster of up to ten of these cells in each hemisphere.
