Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. PS216 DNpe032 DNxn175 VFB:FBbt_20001971 Adult descending neuron of the posterior brain of the DNpe032 group (Berg et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral inferior clamp, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope and T3 leg neuropil, and the cervical connective, gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge, lower tectulum, intermediate tectulum and abdominal neuromere (Berg et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral T1 leg neuropil, T2 leg neuropil and T3 leg neuropil, the contralateral inferior posterior slope, T1 leg neuropil, T2 leg neuropil and T3 leg 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:20001971 bilateral
