MooSEZ [FBbt_00052249]

Adult neuron with its soma in the lateral subesophageal zone (SEZ), dendritic arborization in the SEZ and axonal arborization in the lower lateral accessory lobe (Israel et al., 2022). Its presynaptic arborizations are organized in a characteristic two-dimensional vertical sheet that slopes from anterolateral to posteriomedial (Israel et al., 2022). It outputs onto the moonwalker descending neurons and its activity results in backwards locomotion (Israel et al., 2022). It is also indirectly upstream of DNa01 and DNa02, and similar to these cells, can influence turning motion (Israel et al., 2022). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Israel et al., 2022).
