In the brain, it has postsynapses in the ipsilateral inferior posterior slope, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion and the ipsilateral inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the VNC, it follows the dorsal median tract (Sturner et al., 2025). 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_20007490 DNxn053 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.
