Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. WED123 FBbt:20003673 Adult descending neuron of the posterior brain of the DNpe005 group (Berg et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lateral accessory lobe, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, superior medial protocerebrum, epaulette, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp, wedge, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope and wing neuropil, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge, lower tectulum and intermediate tectulum (Berg et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center, wedge, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope, cantle, wing neuropil, haltere neuropil and T1 leg neuropil, the contralateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center, wedge, inferior posterior slope and wing 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). VFB:FBbt_20003673 bilateral
