It extends neurites bilaterally innervating the periesophageal region and the lateral protocerebrum; one long process descends to the ventral nerve cord, where it extensively innervates the wing neuropil (von Phillipsborn et al., 2011). There is one of these cells per hemisphere and it is cholinergic (Lillvis et al., 2024). It is involved in pulse and sine song generation (von Phillipsborn et al., 2011; O'Sullivan et al., 2018; Lillvis et al., 2024). fly_anatomy.ontology fru-pIP10 FBbt:00110854 pIP10 neuron VFB:FBbt_00110854 adult fruitless pIP10 neuron male courtship behavior, veined wing generated song production bilateral
