DNp46
ID: FBbt_20011347
Adult descending neuron with its soma in the posterior brain, near to the superior medial protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It belongs to the SMPpm1 lineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. In the brain, it has postsynapses ipsilaterally in the inferior clamp and superior intermediate and medial protocerebrum, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion and the contralateral flange (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the median dorsal abdominal tract and sends output to multiple regions (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin 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). (Stürner et al., 2025, Dorkenwald et al., 2024, Schlegel et al., 2024)
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.
