obsolete descending neuron of the posterior brain DNp30

ID: FBbt_00047663

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 antennal lobe, medulla, superior clamp, saddle, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, superior medial protocerebrum, superior intermediate protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, epaulette, vest, gnathal ganglion, intermediate tectulum, wing sensory neuropil, T1 median ventral association center, T2 median ventral association center and T3 median ventral association center. It fasciculates with the median dorsal abdominal tract in the ventral nerve cord. There is one of these cells per hemisphere. (Namiki et al., 2018)

Obsoleted, as mapped to the Dsk MP1a neuron in Bates et al. (2025) - doi:10.1101/2025.07.31.667571. Namiki et al., 2018, identify this as being morphologically similar to the giant antennal mechanosensory descending neuron, described by Mu et al. (2014) (FBrf0225358).
