Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. DNlt011 fly_anatomy.ontology Adult descending neuron of the posterior brain of the DNpe042 group (Berg et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral superior medial protocerebrum, gorget, epaulette, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp, wedge, superior posterior slope, flange and cantle, the contralateral accessory mesothoracic neuropil, gorget, epaulette, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp, superior posterior slope and cantle, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge, saddle and lower tectulum (Berg et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral gorget, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp and flange, the contralateral accessory mesothoracic neuropil, gorget, vest, inferior clamp, superior posterior slope, cantle and T1 leg neuropil, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge, saddle, lower tectulum and intermediate tectulum (Berg et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Berg et al., 2025). FBbt:20000967 bilateral
