GFC2 [FBbt_00049598]

Neuron of the adult ventral nerve cord that is coupled to the giant fiber neuron via gap junctions (Kennedy and Broadie, 2018). There are seven bilateral pairs of these neurons with their cell bodies neighboring the GFC1 nuclei in the anterior mesothoracic neuromere (T2) (Kennedy and Broadie, 2018). Its projections form a large loop in T2 that curves along the region of the giant fiber axon bend (Kennedy and Broadie, 2018). It also has processes that appear to innervate the wing neuropils (Kennedy and Broadie, 2018).
