VFB:FBbt_00047642 FBbt:00047642 P9 DN fly_anatomy.ontology Descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body on the posterior surface of the brain (Namiki et al., 2018). This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018). It has neurites in the inferior clamp, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, wedge, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, inferior posterior slope, superior posterior slope, gorget, gnathal ganglion, intermediate tectulum, abdominal neuromere, T1 leg neuropil, T2 leg neuropil and T3 leg neuropil (Namiki et al., 2018). It fasciculates with the intermediate tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord (Namiki et al., 2018). Its higher cerebral arborization is dendritic and its subesophageal and ventral nerve cord arborization is axonal (Bidaye et al., 2020). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018). It is cholinergic (Cheong et al., 2024). It receives strong input from lobula columnar LC9 neurons (Bidaye et al., 2020). It can initiate forwards walking, with an ipsilateral turning component and it involved in orientation behavior (Bidaye et al., 2020). adult cholinergic neuron lobula columnar neuron LC9 adult abdominal neuromere adult walking behavior turning behavior unilateral
