It is cholinergic and also expresses fruitless (Jung et al., 2020). There are more of these cells in the male (approximately 16) than pCd (female) neurons in the female (approximately 12) (Robinett et al., 2010; Kimura et al., 2015). They are required for long-term normal increases in mating behavior and aggression in some social contexts (Zhang et al., 2019; Jung et al., 2020). Four of these cells per hemisphere arise from the DM2 (DPMpm1) neuroblast (Ren et al., 2016).
