Adult Nervous system primary neuron

Adult descending neuron with its soma in the posterior brain, ventral to the mushroom body calyx (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. In the brain, it has postsynapses in the ipsilateral superior posterior slope and vest, and has presynapses in the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the median dorsal abdominal tract and sends output to the leg neuropil (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2025). (Schlegel et al., 2024, Dorkenwald et al., 2024, Stürner et al., 2025)

Type identified at light level and matched across EM datasets by Sturner et al. (2025). Pre- or post-synapse locations are those with the highest total count of these neurons in FlyWire FAFB. Inconsistent neurotransmitter predictions between MANC and FlyWire FAFB.
