Adult secondary motor neuron that innervates the femoral pretarsal depressor muscle (Brierley et al., 2012). It is a lineage 15 neuron, born slightly before the tibial pretarsal depressor muscle secondary motor neuron (Brierley et al., 2012). Its dendritic arborization is mainly found in the ipsilateral leg neuropil, with a prominent posterior branch extending a short distance into the contralateral hemineuromere (Brierley et al., 2012).
Adult lineage 15 secondary motor neuron that innervates an accessory tibial flexor (tibial reductor) muscle (Brierley et al., 2012). It is born after pretarsal depressor muscle motor neurons (Brierley et al., 2012). Its dendritic arbors are predominantly in the intermediate-lateral ipsilateral leg neuropil (Brierley et al., 2012).
Any neuron that develops from neuroblast NB2-3 during the postembryonic phase of neurogenesis. These are all Notch OFF hemilineage neurons, as the Notch ON hemilineage is eliminated by apoptosis (Lacin et al., 2019). In the adult, these are all glutamatergic motor neurons (Lacin et al., 2019).
Any neuron that develops from neuroblast NB2-3 during the embryonic phase of neurogenesis. Most of these cells remain in an immature state in the larva and become motor neurons in the adult (Lacin and Truman, 2016).
Adult motor neuron that innervates a prothoracic extracoxal trochanter depressor muscle (Brierley et al., 2012). It is an early-born lineage 15 secondary neuron (Brierley et al., 2012). It has fairly broad dendritic arborization in the ipsilateral leg neuropil (Brierley et al., 2012).
Adult motor neuron that innervates a prothoracic sternotrochanter extensor muscle (Azevedo et al., 2024). It fasciculates with the ventral prothoracic nerve (Azevedo et al., 2024). There are two of these on each side with somas in the anterior prothoracic neuromere (Azevedo et al., 2024).
Adult motor neuron that innervates a tarsal depressor muscle (Brierley et al., 2012). It fasciculates with the prothoracic leg nerve (Azevedo et al., 2024). There are two of these cells per thoracic hemineuromere and they are lineage 15 secondary neurons (Brierley et al., 2012).
Adult motor neuron that innervates a prothoracic tarsal levator muscle and has its soma in the (anterior) prothoracic neuromere (Brierley et al., 2012; Azevedo et al., 2024). It is a lineage 15 secondary neuron (Brierley et al., 2012). It has dendritic arborization in the anterior and lateral prothoracic neuromere and fasciculates with the prothoracic leg nerve (Azevedo et al., 2024). There are one or two of these cells on each side (Baek and Mann, 2009; Brierley et al., 2012; Azevedo et al., 2024).
Adult motor neuron that innervates a prothoracic tarsal retro depressor muscle and has its soma in the (anterior) prothoracic neuromere (Brierley et al., 2012; Azevedo et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per thoracic hemineuromere and it is a late-born lineage 15 secondary neuron (Brierley et al., 2012). Its dendritic arbors are predominantly in the ventral intermediate-lateral ipsilateral leg neuropil (Brierley et al., 2012) and it follows the prothoracic leg nerve (Azevedo et al., 2024).
Adult motor neuron that innervates a prothoracic tergotrochanter extensor muscle (Azevedo et al., 2024). Its dendrites form a distinctive rotated L shape in the prothoracic neuromere (Azevedo et al., 2024). It fasciculates with the ventral prothoracic nerve (Azevedo et al., 2024). There are four of these on each side with somas in the anterior prothoracic neuromere (Azevedo et al., 2024).
Adult secondary motor neuron that innervates a tibial pretarsal depressor muscle (Brierley et al., 2012). It is a lineage 15 neuron, born slightly after the femoral pretarsal depressor muscle secondary motor neuron (Brierley et al., 2012). Its dendritic arborization is mainly found in the ipsilateral leg neuropil, with a prominent posterior branch extending a short distance into the contralateral hemineuromere (Brierley et al., 2012).
