In the brain, it has dendrites in the inferior and superior posterior slope (Suver et al., 2016; Namiki et al., 2018). In the VNC, it fasciculates with the intermediate tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle and sends output to the neck and haltere neuropils (Suver et al., 2016; Namiki et al., 2018). It receives input from horizontal system neurons in the inferior posterior slope (Erginkaya et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere and it remains ipsilateral (Suver et al., 2016; Namiki et al., 2018). DNp15 VFB:FBbt_00047648 FBbt:00047648 DNut022 descending neuron of the horizontal system 1 Namiki et al. (2018), identify this as being morphologically similar to VGlut-F-800293 and Cha-F-700077, described by FlyCircuit (FBrf0212704).
