DNp63
ID: FBbt_20011356
Adult descending neuron with its soma in the posterior brain, dorsal to the antler (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It belongs to the SMPpm1 lineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. In the brain, it has postsynapses in the ipsilateral superior and inferior posterior slope and the gnathal ganglion, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion and the contralateral superior and inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the median dorsal abdominal tract and sends output to the intermediate and upper 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, Dorkenwald et al., 2024, Schlegel 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.
