ID: FBbt_20007516
Adult descending neuron with its soma in the gnathal ganglion, ventral to the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It has postsynapses and presynapses mainly in the ipsilateral ventrolateral gnathal ganglion, with some arbors extending medially and contralaterally (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2025). It descends on the ipsilateral side and arborizes bilaterally in the prothoracic neuromere (Sturner et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024. There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2025). (Dorkenwald et al., 2024, Stürner et al., 2025, Eckstein 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.
