MNad21 [FBbt_20011141]

Adult motor neuron of the MNad21 group (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It is a primary neuron (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It exits the VNC via the abdominal nerve (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It sends output to the abdomen (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 4 of these cells per organism and their somas are found in the abdominal neuromere (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024).
