Its soma is found in the ventral mesothoracic neuromere (Ehrhardt et al., 2023). It arborizes predominantly in the ipsilateral dorsal mesothoracic neuromere, including the wing neuropil, with some fibers extending across the midline (O'Sullivan et al., 2018; Ehrhardt et al., 2023). In the male, it is required for courtship song (O'Sullivan et al., 2018). fly_anatomy.ontology tpn MN tpn_MN VFB:FBbt_00048110 tpn_MN flight control muscle motor neuron cell body rind of adult mesothoracic neuromere bilateral
