DNp28 [FBbt_00047661]

Descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body on the posterior surface of the brain (Namiki et al., 2018). It has dendritic arbors in the contralateral lateral ocellar ganglion, which it reaches via an ocellar nerve (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It also has arbors in the inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, gnathal ganglion, neck neuropil and wing neuropil (Namiki et al., 2018). It descends on the contralateral side of the cervical connective, then 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 (Namiki et al., 2018; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024).
