It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses in the ipsilateral superior and inferior posterior slope and the contralateral superior posterior slope, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion (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 intermediate and upper tectulum (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (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). fly_anatomy.ontology VFB:FBbt_20011360 DNb07 Type identified at light level and matched across EM datasets by Sturner et al.
