DNp38

ID: FBbt_20007548

Adult descending neuron with its soma in the brain, posterior to the inferior bridge (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the PSp2 lineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has postsynapses and presynapses in the ipsilateral anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, the saddle, the ipsilateral wedge and the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). 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).

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. Different MANC individuals are assigned different VNC tracts (Sturner et al., 2025).
