Missing some grouping terms for neurons #1815

Closed gouttegd closed 4 months ago

gouttegd commented 4 months ago

A handful of scRNAseq papers on brain/nervous system (both larval and adult) will require new terms to group some classes of neurons (and glial cells).

FBrf0253187

We have precise terms for various subtypes of T neurons (immature T4 neuron, immature T4a neuron, etc.), but here we need a single term encompassing all immature T neurons (EquivalentTo: 'immature neuron and (develops_into some 'T neuron')).

For FBrf0257286

Would encompass any cell body glial cell of the adult VNC. We have such a term for the larva (larval VNC cell body glial cell), but not for the adult.

Would encompass any neuron that has its soma in the cell body rind of the adult VNC.

For FBrf0247975 and FBrf0248018

We need grouping terms for the olfactory projection neurons (OPNs) coming from different lineages.

We already have such terms for some of the OPNs. For example, we have adult antennal lobe projection neuron VA1v, which encompasses both adult antennal lobe projection neuron VA1v adPN (VA1v OPN from the adPN/BAmv3 lineage) and adult antennal lobe projection neuron VA1v vPN (VA1v OPN from the vPN/BALa1 lineage).

We need similar terms for other OPNs as well:
