A large branch innervates the basolateral protocerebrum (BLP) and, to a smaller extent, the DLP (Rohwedder et al., 2015). Here its innervation is mostly postsynaptic and the neuron splits several times (Rohwedder et al., 2015). The presynaptic branch of the neuron crosses the midline and projects medially through the contralateral subesophageal ganglion to the ventral nerve cord (VNC) (Rohwedder et al., 2015). At the end of the VNC the neuron loops back at least one abdominal segment (Rohwedder et al., 2015). There is one of these cells per hemisphere and it also expresses Dh31 (Park et al., 2008). larval dNPF-DL1 cell larval NPF-M cell larval dNPF-DL1 neuron FBbt:00047251 fly_anatomy.ontology larval descending neuron to VNC larval gnathal ganglion bilateral
