DNp58

ID: FBbt_20007550

Adult descending neuron with its soma in the brain, ventral to the mushroom body calyx (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the SMPpv2 lineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses and presynapses in the prow and the ipsilateral flange, and also has presynapses in the contralateral flange (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the VNC, it follows the curved ventrolateral tract (Sturner et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is serotonin (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.
