Adult Cholinergic Nervous system primary neuron

Adult descending neuron with its soma in the posterior brain, dorsal to the antler (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 vest, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion and the ipsilateral vest (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. In the VNC, it sends output to the T1 leg neuropil (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). (Dorkenwald et al., 2024, Schlegel 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.
