It has dendritic arbors in the abdominal neuromere and it receives mechanosensory input during copulation (Shao et al., 2019). In the brain, it has mixed presynaptic and postsynaptic arbors in the subesophageal zone and the pars intercerebralis (Shao et al., 2019). There is one of these cells on each side and it is cholinergic (Shao et al., 2019). Its activity reduces receptivity to males (Shao et al., 2019). adult cholinergic neuron adult VNC neuron adult abdominal neuromere adult subesophageal zone cell body rind of adult abdominal neuromere regulation of female receptivity
