part of overlaps female organism adult doublesex pC1 (female) neuron 2018-06-28T15:28:26Z dsx-pC1 (female) Doublesex-expressing neuron of the female that is part of a cluster in the posterior medial region of the protocerebrum. There are 5 of these cells per hemisphere and they are derived from the DM4 neuroblast (Ren et al., 2016). They are generally more active in virgin females than mated females (Wang et al., 2020). Subclasses can be distinguished by their characteristic branching patterns (Wang et al., 2020). They are cholinergic (Wang et al., 2020). FBbt:00047349 dsx-expressing posterior Cell-1 (female) fly_anatomy.ontology Kimura et al. (2015) report around 27 pC1 (female) cells per hemisphere, Zhou et al. (2014) and Pavlou et al. (2016) report around 8, Ren et al. (2016) and Wang et al. (2020) report 5. Unlike in the male, there does not appear to be overlap between dsx pC1 and fru pMP-e in the female (Ren et al., 2016).
