abdominal posterior ventral multidendritic neuron vdap

ID: FBbt_00002525

Larval class I multidendritic neuron with its soma located relatively posteriorly in the ventral (v) part of a ventral sensory cluster of an abdominal segment (Grueber et al., 2002; Orgogozo and Grueber, 2005). It is a proprioceptor neuron (Heckscher et al., 2015). It fasciculates with branch c of the abdominal segmental nerve (SNc) (Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1997). It has strong outputs to Jaam2 (Heckscher et al., 2015). It does not persist into the adult stage (Shimono et al., 2009).

Campos Ortega and Hartenstein (1997) state in one place that this neuron fasciculates with SNc and elsewhere that it fasciculates with SNa. It seems unlikely to do both, so have gone with SNc on the basis of the relevant figures. The number of identified output synapses in A1 to Jaam2 was 32/21 (L/R) (Heckscher et al., 2015).
