obsolete A2-7 VT1 motor neuron

ID: FBbt_00110281

Motor neuron developing from neuroblast NB4-1 lineage that innervates the ventral transverse muscle 1 of abdominal segments 2 to 7. It migrates medially and posteriorly during embryonic development (Schmid et al., 1999). 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). VT1 is only found in A2-7 segments (Zarin et al., 2019). (Zarin et al., 2019, Choi et al., 2004, Hoang and Chiba, 2001, Landgraf et al., 2003, Mauss et al., 2009, Landgraf et al., 1997, Landgraf et al., 2003, Schmid et al., 1999)

Obsoleted since VT1 may only exists in A2-A7, name is confusing (somas are A1-A6), and even if a VT1 is present in A8, there is no need to have the other neurons separated into their own class.
