MNml78 [FBbt_20011216]

Adult motor neuron of the MNml78 group (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It is a secondary neuron of the 15B hemilineage (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It exits the VNC via the mesothoracic leg nerve (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). It receives input in the T2 leg neuropil and sends output to the mesothoracic leg (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 6 of these cells per organism and their somas are found in the mesothoracic neuromere (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024).
