Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Transgenic animals carrying an oig-1 fosmid-based reporter construct showed expression both in the DD and VD motor neurons (MN), but no other ventral nerve cord MNs. Notably, expression of oig-1 in the D-type MNs is temporally controlled in a manner that correlates with the distinct periods of inhibition of dorsal muscle innervation exhibited by DD and VD neurons. oig-1 is transiently expressed in the DD neurons during the time when no dorsal synapses are formed (embryos and L1), but is downregulated in the DD neurons upon formation of their dorsal synapses (L2 and later). In contrast, expression of oig-1 in the VD neurons, which have processes but no synaptic outputs in the dorsal cord, is continuously maintained throughout the life of the neuron.

Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
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
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
