DNp60 [FBbt_20011354]

Adult descending neuron with its soma in the posterior brain, near 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 in the ipsilateral inferior clamp, superior intermediate protocerebrum and gorget, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of ventral cervical fasciculus 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). (Schlegel et al., 2024, Stürner et al., 2025, Dorkenwald et al., 2024)

Adult Cholinergic lineage SMPpv2 CP1

Adult descending neuron with its soma in the posterior brain, near 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 in the ipsilateral inferior clamp, superior intermediate protocerebrum and gorget, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of ventral cervical fasciculus 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). (Schlegel et al., 2024, Stürner et al., 2025, Dorkenwald 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.
