DNp13 [FBbt_00047646]

Doublesex-expressing adult descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body in the posterior medial protocerebrum, ventral to the pC1 cluster (Robinett et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2020). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Robinett et al., 2010) and it has a sexually dimorphic branching pattern (Kimura et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2020) and different functions in the male and female (Takayanagi-Kiya and Kiya, 2019; Wang et al., 2020).
