DNg55

ID: FBbt_20007500

Adult descending neuron with its soma in the gnathal ganglion, ventral-lateral to the prow (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion and the saddle, and postsynapses also in the flange (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the VNC, it follows the median dorsal abdominal tract (Sturner et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 1-2 of these cells per organism (Sturner et al., 2025).

Type identified at light level and matched across EM datasets by Sturner et al. (2025). Pre- or post-synapse locations are the fewest regions that collectively contain at least 80 percent of all pre- or post-synapses of these neurons in FlyWire. Full name for BDN3 from codex (2025-03-04).
