Descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body on the posterior surface of the brain. This neuron crosses the midline and descends on the contralateral side of the cervical connective. It has neurites in the inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, gnathal ganglion and intermediate tectulum. It fasciculates with the median tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord. There is one of these cells per hemisphere.
