It receives input in the ipsilateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center, gorget, epaulette, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, wedge, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope, cantle, wing neuropil and neck neuropil, the contralateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center, vest, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior posterior slope, cantle, wing neuropil and neck neuropil, and the cervical connective, gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge, intermediate tectulum and abdominal neuromere (Berg et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum, wing neuropil, haltere neuropil, T1 leg neuropil and neck neuropil, the contralateral anterior dorsal mesothoracic nerve, wing neuropil and neck neuropil, and the gnathal ganglion, lower tectulum, intermediate tectulum and abdominal neuromere (Berg et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Berg et al., 2025). FBbt:20001858 DNbe001 fly_anatomy.ontology 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. VFB:FBbt_20001858 DNut040 bilateral
