larval VT1 motor neuron

ID: FBbt_00110279

Larval motor neuron of the NB4-1 lineage that innervates the external ventral transverse muscle 1 (VT1), which is only found in A2 and more posterior segments (Landgraf et al., 1997; Zarin et al., 2019. It migrates medially and posteriorly during embryonic development (Schmid et al., 1999. Its dendritic domain is located posterior to the dendritic domain of the ISN motor neurons (Landgraf et al., 2003. It follows the transverse nerve and synapses to the VT1 muscle in the anterior part of the of the next posterior segment via type Ib boutons (Landgraf et al., 1997; Zarin et al., 2019. (Zarin et al., 2019, Landgraf et al., 2003, Schmid et al., 1999, Landgraf et al., 1997)

VT1 muscle in not found in segments anterior to A2, unclear if it is present in A8.
