DNg26

ID: FBbt_00047618

Descending neuron belonging to the DNg group, having a cell body in the cell body rind around the gnathal ganglion. This neuron crosses the midline and descends on the contralateral side of the cervical connective. It has neurites in the inferior bridge, flange, inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, gnathal ganglion, neck neuropil, wing neuropil, haltere neuropil and abdominal neuromere. It fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord. There is a cluster of up to two of these cells in each hemisphere.

Namiki et al. (2018), identify this as being morphologically similar to one of the Hugin-expressing neurons (FBbt:00110924), described by Melcher and Pankratz, 2005 (FBrf0188215), the fruitless aSG3 neuron (FBbt:00111168), described by Yu et al. (2010) (FBrf0211884) and fru-F-900021, described by FlyCircuit (FBrf0212704).
