neuroblast NB5-6

ID: FBbt_00001377

Neuroblast that delaminates during S1 and generates subperineural glia, cell body glia and interneurons during the embryonic stage (Schmid et al., 1999). Its first division produces a glioblast and a neuroblast that does not produce any glia (Bernardoni et al., 1999). In the embryo, one of these cells can be found in each hemisegment from S1-A10 (Birkholz et al., 2013; Urbach et al., 2016). It dies in abdominal and thoracic segments by apoptosis during late embryogenesis (Baumgardt et al., 2009; Lacin and Truman, 2016), but survives to produce a secondary lineage in the labial neuromere (Lacin and Truman, 2016).

Lacin and Truman (2016) do not show data for neuromeres anterior to S3 (labial).
