ID: FBbt_20003316

Adult descending neuron of the posterior brain of the DNpe053 group (Nern et al., 2025. It receives input in the ipsilateral optic lobe, superior lateral protocerebrum, superior medial protocerebrum, pedunculus of mushroom body, gorget, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp, superior intermediate protocerebrum, crepine, antler, superior posterior slope, flange and cantle, the contralateral optic lobe, superior lateral protocerebrum, superior medial protocerebrum, gorget, vest, superior clamp, superior intermediate protocerebrum, superior posterior slope and flange, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge and saddle (Nern et al., 2025. It sends output to the ipsilateral superior lateral protocerebrum, superior medial protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, accessory medulla, superior intermediate protocerebrum and flange, the contralateral optic lobe, superior lateral protocerebrum, superior medial protocerebrum, vest, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, superior intermediate protocerebrum, crepine, flange and cantle, and the gnathal ganglion (Nern et al., 2025. Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025. There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025. (Eckstein et al., 2024, Dorkenwald et al., 2024)

Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets (Scheffer et al., 2020; Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025. Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. Other information from Nern et al., 2025 supplements.
