Adult Glutamatergic Motor neuron Nervous system Peptidergic secondary neuron
Female version of the adult dorsal posterior Ilp7 neuron. It is a glutamatergic motor neuron that innervates the oviduct (Castellanos et al., 2013. There are 4 of these neurons, in a dorsal cluster (Castellanos et al., 2013. Unlike the male version, this cell does not produce serotonin (Castellanos et al., 2013. (Castellanos et al., 2013)
These neurons express fruitless (FBgn0004652) but not doublesex (FBgn0000504). The expression of Bruchpilot was used to reveal presynaptic terminals (Castellanos et al., 2013.
