has characteristic larval abdominal CCAP neuron larval A5-A7 CCAP neuron 2015-12-17T16:59:25Z fly_anatomy.ontology VFB:FBbt_00111333 FBbt:00111333 Larval neuron that expresses CCAP (Crustacean cardioactive peptide) (FBgn0039007) and whose soma is located laterally in one of abdominal neuromeres A5 to A7, between the height of the VL and DL fascicles (Santos et al., 2007; Veverytsa and Allan, 2012). The primary neurite extends to the midline and arborizes dorsally between the DM and VM fascicles, up to the segment borders. It then projects ventrolaterally in the contralateral neuropil and branches in a T-shape at the VL fascicle: a long posterior branch follows the VL fascicle until its posterior end and then bend medially; a shorter anterior branch follows the VL fascicle until its anterior end at the border between the subesophageal ganglion and brain, and then bends medially forming small arborizations. There is one of these cells per A5-A7 hemineuromere (Veverytsa and Allan, 2012). larval CCAP A5-A7 abdominal neuron IN a5-a7 bilateral
