It also expresses Trissin (Ma et al., 2021). From the posterior surface of the lateral horn (LH), one branch descends towards, but does not innervate, the accessory medulla (AME), running along the edge of the posterior lateral protocerebrum (PLP) and innervating more medial locations (Schubert et al., 2018). Another branch projects to the superior lateral protocerebrum (SLP), where it trifurcates, with two projections continuing to dorsal parts of the brain and one running to the anterior optic tubercle (AOTU) (Schubert et al., 2018). There are two of these cells per hemisphere (Schubert et al., 2018). sNPF+ LNd neuron sNPF/CRY coexpressing LNd neuron LNd Trissin sNPF and CRY positive LNd neuron fly_anatomy.ontology sNPF+/CRY+ LNd neuron sNPF+ CRY+ LNd neuron sNPF expressing LNd neuron Trissin neuron adult lateral horn neuron sNPF neuron neurosecretory cell of adult brain adult peptidergic neuron
