larval LT3 motor neuron [FBbt_00110267]

Larval motor neuron of the NB3-2 lineage that innervates only lateral transverse muscle 3, via type Ib boutons (Landgraf et al., 1997; Wang et al., 2022). It arborizes in the ipsilateral neuropil, and its axon fasciculates with the ipsilateral segmental nerve, innervating a muscle of the same segment as its soma (Landgraf et al., 1997).

Larva Motor neuron lineage 7 NB3-2 primary neuron

Larval motor neuron of the NB3-2 lineage that innervates only lateral transverse muscle 3, via type Ib boutons (Landgraf et al., 1997; Wang et al., 2022). It arborizes in the ipsilateral neuropil, and its axon fasciculates with the ipsilateral segmental nerve, innervating a muscle of the same segment as its soma (Landgraf et al., 1997).

Many papers do not identify this neuron, but a neuron innervating only LT3 was found by Wang et al. (2022).
