DNp69
ID: FBbt_20011359
Adult descending neuron with its soma in the brain, posterior-medial to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (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 and gorget, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the ventral median tract of ventral cervical fasciculus, and sends output to the leg neuropil and lower tectulum (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.
