It receives input in the wedge and outputs onto and inhibits the female doublesex pMN2 (vpoDN) neuron (Wang et al., 2021). Most of its synaptic terminals are in the anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Yu et al., 2010; Baker et al., 2022). A projection also extends across the midline (Yu et al., 2010; Baker et al., 2022). It preferentially responds to male sine song, rather than pulse song (Baker et al., 2022). There are approximately 20 of these cells per hemisphere (Cachero et al., 2010). female aSP-k neuron female aSP3c neuron female fru-aSP3 neuron fly_anatomy.ontology VFB:FBbt_00110469 FBbt:00110469 adult female fruitless aSP8 neuron AVLP_pr02 female LC1 neuron Wang et al. (2020) - FBrf0247919 states that aSP-k neurons are probably a subset of vpoIN. Based on Hemibrain data, all these (aSP8) cells cross the midline, so probably correspond to the 'commissural' subset of vpoIN neurons, AVLP_pr02, in Baker et al. (2022) - FBrf0254226. bilateral
