These are mainly efferent neurons with bilaterally symmetrical projections (Ehrhardt et al., 2023). There are around 13 of these cells in the thoracic neuromeres (Phelps et al., 2021). VUM Confirmed by the first author of Phelps et al. (2021) that these are identical to their 'unpaired median' neurons, which were referred to as 'dorsal unpaired median' ('DUM') neurons in the preprint version of the paper.
