adult AN06B025 neuron

ID: FBbt_20007802

Adult ascending neuron with contralateral arbors in the ventral nerve cord (VNC) (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It is a primary neuron of the NB5-2 Notch OFF (6B) hemilineage (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the intermediate tract of dorsal cervical fasciculus - commissure of fine fibers and it exits the VNC via the cervical connective (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It receives input in and sends output to the contralateral prothoracic and mesothoracic neuromeres (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2025). It also receives input in the subesophageal zone (Sturner et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism and their somas are found in the metathoracic neuromere (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024).

Identified at light level and across EM datasets by Sturner et al. (2025).
