larval DN2 neuron [FBbt_00001916]

Neuron whose soma is located in a region lateral and posterior to that of the DN1 neurons in the dorsal region of the larval brain, in the vicinity of the dorsal s-LNv terminals. It arborizes in this area and projects to the contralateral side of the brain, arborizing in the dorsomedian protocerebrum. It does not arborize in the larval optic neuropil (Keene et al., 2011). It exhibits strong circadian cycling of Period (FBgn0003068), with expression starting at about 15 hours post-hatching. There are one or two of these cells per hemisphere.

Larva Nervous system Neuron

Neuron whose soma is located in a region lateral and posterior to that of the DN1 neurons in the dorsal region of the larval brain, in the vicinity of the dorsal s-LNv terminals. It arborizes in this area and projects to the contralateral side of the brain, arborizing in the dorsomedian protocerebrum. It does not arborize in the larval optic neuropil (Keene et al., 2011). It exhibits strong circadian cycling of Period (FBgn0003068), with expression starting at about 15 hours post-hatching. There are one or two of these cells per hemisphere.

Expression of Period was determined by per-lacZ fusion expression (Kaneko et al., 1997).
