obsolete adult doublesex pMN2 neuron 2018-07-10T13:09:56Z true dsx-pMN2 Doublesex-expressing neuron of the adult found in the posterior medial protocerebrum, ventral to the pC1 cluster (Robinett et al., 2010). There is one of these neurons per hemisphere and they do not appear to be sexually dimorphic (Robinett et al., 2010). dsx-expressing posterior Medial Neuron 2 FBbt:00047369 Kimura et al., 2015 show that these neurons are gender-specific, with males having what they refer to as pMN3 neurons and females having what they refer to as pMN2 in a similar location. These are different cells, as genetic manipulations can result in both cell types being present in one fly (Kimura et al., 2015). Obsoleted this term to create the two gender-specific terms. doublesex-expressing posterior Medial Neuron 2 fly_anatomy.ontology adult vaginal plate opening descending neuron vpoDN adult doublesex pMN3 (male) neuron
