There is one of these neurons per hemisphere. They form a cluster with the VUM neuron cell bodies, but unlike the VUM neurons, the VPM neurons are restricted to the CNS. The mesothoracic VPM neuron arborizes in the contralateral medial neuropil of the prothoracic neuromere and the subesophageal ganglion. A secondary neurite bifurcates in the contralateral prothoracic neuromere to innervate the mediodorsal subesophageal ganglion and the tritocerebrum (Selcho et al., 2012).
