These include the dCCAP-IR neurons, two dozen neurons on the dorsal surface of the fused metathoracic and abdominal neuromeres, and the vCCAP-IR neurons, one pair of neurons on either side of the midline in each of the ventral surface of the thoracic neuromeres (Draizen et al., 1999). aCCAP-IR neuron Adult neuron that expresses CCAP (Crustacean cardioactive peptide) (FBgn0039007), whose soma is located in the cell body rind of the abdominal neuromere. There are around 28 of these cells per organism around the time of eclosion, nearly half of which express Bursicon (Zhao et al., 2008; Melnattur et al., 2020). The majority of these die by apoptosis within 24 hours of eclosion, leaving only 4-6 cells in the most posterior part of the neuromere (Draizen et al., 1999).
