These cells coexpress the genes Insulin-like peptide (Ilp) 2, Ilp3 and Ilp5 (Reinhard et al., 2024). There are approximately 7-9 of these cells per hemisphere and they fasciculate with the nervus corporis cardiaci (McKim et al., 2024). fly_anatomy.ontology dorsomedial neurosecretory cell Insulin-producing cells are found amongst the median neurosecretory cells, but not all mNSCs are IPCs (FBrf0212696), despite misleading phrasing in some articles (e.g. FBrf0184236). insulin producing cell of brain m-NSC DILP IPC VFB:FBbt_00004011 FBbt:00004011 peptidergic neuron neuron pars intercerebralis neurosecretory cell of pars intercerebralis nervus corporis cardiaci efferent neuron
