Adult Nervous system Serotonergic
Male-specific, serotonergic neuron that is located in the posterior region of the abdominal ganglion. It expresses the male isoform of fruitless. There are eight of these neurons per organism in a dorsal cluster and they have relatively large cell bodies. They fasciculate with the abdominal nerve trunk and innervate the male reproductive organs. Members of this group innervate the testicular ducts, seminal vesicles, accessory glands and/or an anterior part of the ejaculatory duct. (Lee et al., 2001, Castellanos et al., 2013, Lee and Hall, 2001, Billeter and Goodwin, 2004)
