ID: FBbt_20007500
Adult descending neuron with its soma in the gnathal ganglion, ventral-lateral to the prow (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. In the brain, it has postsynapses and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion and the saddle, and postsynapses also in the flange (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. In the VNC, it follows the median dorsal abdominal tract (Sturner et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024. There are approximately 1-2 of these cells per organism (Sturner et al., 2025). (Eckstein et al., 2024, Sapkal et al., 2024, Stürner et al., 2025, Dorkenwald et al., 2024)
Type identified at light level and matched across EM datasets by Sturner et al. (2025). Pre- or post-synapse locations are the fewest regions that collectively contain at least 80 percent of all pre- or post-synapses of these neurons in FlyWire. Full name for BDN3 from codex (2025-03-04).
