DNp29 [FBbt_00047662]
Adult neuropeptide F-expressing descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a large cell body in the posterior dorsomedial brain (Lee et al., 2006; Namiki et al., 2018). In the brain, it has neurites in the inferior and superior clamp, inferior bridge, cantle, superior lateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, anterior and posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, superior posterior slope, vest and gnathal ganglion (Namiki et al., 2018). It descends on the contralateral side of the cervical connective, fasciculates with the ventral medial tract of the ventral cervical fascicle, and innervates the intermediate and lower tectulum, abdominal neuromere and wing sensory neuropil (Namiki et al., 2018). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Lee et al., 2006; Namiki et al., 2018).
