adult doublesex pMN3 (male) neuron [FBbt_00048406]
Doublesex-expressing neuron of the adult male found in the posterior medial protocerebrum. There is one of these cells per hemisphere, with its cell body ventral to the pC1 cluster (Kimura et al., 2015). Robinett et al., 2010 state that pMN2 cells are not sexually dimorphic. 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).
