It belongs to the WEDd1 (DALd) lineage (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses in the ipsilateral inferior and superior posterior slope and lateral accessory lobe, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion and the ipsilateral inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the median tract of dorsal cervical fasciculus I and sends output to the upper tectulum (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2025). DNa15 FBbt:20011334 DNa15 fly_anatomy.ontology Type identified at light level and matched across EM datasets by Sturner et al. (2025). Pre- or post-synapse locations are the fewest regions that collectively contain at least 80 percent of all pre- or post-synapses of these neurons in FlyWire. DNut038
