DNp23 [FBbt_00047656]

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 clamp, saddle, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, gorget, vest, gnathal ganglion and lower tectulum. It fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of the ventral cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord. There is one of these cells per hemisphere.
