It receives input in the ipsilateral gorget, epaulette, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp and superior posterior slope, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge, saddle, lower tectulum, intermediate tectulum and abdominal neuromere (Berg et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral gorget, epaulette, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and inferior clamp, the contralateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center, vest and flange, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge, lower tectulum, intermediate tectulum and abdominal neuromere (Berg et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Berg et al., 2025). DNpe040 CL320 DNpe040 fly_anatomy.ontology VFB:FBbt_20001025 Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets (Scheffer et al., 2020; Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024; Berg et al., 2025). Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. DNxn130 FBbt:20001025 bilateral
