Male-specific fruitless neuron with its soma in the posterior medial protocerebrum, medial to the mushroom body calyx (Yu et al., 2010). It receives input in the brain and descends to the mesothoracic neuromere, where it innervates the wing neuropil (Yu et al., 2010). It expresses allatostatin C (Diaz et al., 2019) and it is cholinergic (Lillvis et al., 2024). There is around one of these cells per hemisphere (Yu et al., 2010; Lillvis et al., 2024). It plays a role in pulse song generation (Lillvis et al., 2024).
