AN17A068 [FBbt_20008023]

Adult ascending neuron of the AN17A068 group with ipsilateral 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 receives input in the T3 leg neuropil and sends output to the T3 leg neuropil (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism and their somas are found in the prothoracic neuromere (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024).

Adult Cholinergic lineage 17 NB2-5 secondary neuron

Adult ascending neuron of the AN17A068 group with ipsilateral 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 receives input in the T3 leg neuropil and sends output to the T3 leg neuropil (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism and their somas are found in the prothoracic neuromere (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024).

Uncharacterized putative cell type from Marin et al. (2024), based on MANC v1.2.1 data (Takemura et al., 2024) from NeuPrint.
