ID: FBbt_20011346
Adult descending neuron with its soma in the brain, posterior to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. In the brain, it has postsynapses in the ipsilateral anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and inferior clamp, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion, the saddle and the ipsilateral flange (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the ventral median tract of ventral cervical fasciculus and sends output to the leg neuropil and lower tectulum (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 (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2025). (Stürner et al., 2025, Schlegel et al., 2024, Dorkenwald et al., 2024)
Type identified at light level and matched across EM datasets by Sturner et al. (2025). Pre- or post-synapse locations are those with the highest total count of these neurons in FlyWire FAFB.
