AN17A018 [FBbt_20008016]

Adult ascending neuron of the AN17A018 group with bilateral VNC arbors (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It is a secondary neuron of the 17A hemilineage (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It exits the VNC via the cervical connective (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). Within the VNC it fasciculates with the ventral median tract of ventral cervical fasciculus (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It sends output to multiple regions (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 6 of these cells per organism and their somas are found in the mesothoracic neuromere, metathoracic neuromere and prothoracic neuromere (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024).
