AN18B020 [FBbt_20008040]

Adult ascending neuron of the AN18B020 group with bilateral VNC arbors (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It is a primary neuron of the 18B 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 intermediate tract of dorsal cervical fasciculus - commissure of fine fibers (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It receives input in the haltere neuropil and neck neuropil and sends output to the haltere neuropil and neck 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 18 NB2-4 primary neuron

Adult ascending neuron of the AN18B020 group with bilateral VNC arbors (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It is a primary neuron of the 18B 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).

It receives input in the haltere neuropil and neck neuropil and sends output to the haltere neuropil and neck 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.
