WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr10146

• Pattern: Expression appeared to be restricted to the nervous system. The unc-41B reporter was expressed in a subset of neurons, including the GABA motor neurons (DD and VD cells) in the ventral nerve cord. A significant number of neurons did not express the unc-41B reporter; these include the ventral cord ACh motor neurons (VA, VB, DA, DB, VC, and AS cells).
• Primary Identifier: Expr10146

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord.	ventral cord neuron	ventral cord motoneuron	WBbt:0005300
Neuron class of thirteen motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate ventral muscles. Each cell has an anteriorly directed process emanating from its cell body.	VD neuron		WBbt:0005303
Neuron class of six motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate dorsal muscles. Each cell has a short, posteriorly directed and a longer, anteriorly directed process emanating from its cell body. The anterior process has a branch, which leaves the ventral cord as a commissure and runs round to the dorsal cord.	DD neuron		WBbt:0005270
