adult CA-LP neuron [FBbt_00052640]

adult CA-LP neuron

ID: FBbt_00052640

Adult Dh31 neuron with its soma in the dorsal brain and an axon projecting to the corpus allatum (Kurogi et al., 2023) via the nervus corporis cardiaci (McKim et al., 2024). These neurons derive from the larval CA-LP neurons (Kurogi et al., 2023). There are three of these cells per hemisphere (Kurogi et al., 2023). In the female, they are involved in reproductive dormancy (Kurogi et al., 2023).

Distinct from the three LP neurons (FBbt:00007432) - different hemibrain body IDs given in Kurogi et al. (2023) supplement. Also present in males, but function not investigated by Kurogi et al. (2023).
