It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses in the gnathal ganglion, the prow, the ipsilateral and contralateral flange, and presynapses in the gnathal ganglion (Sterne et al., 2021; Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It descends on the contralateral side of the cervical connective, follows the curved ventrolateral tract, and sends output to the abdominal neuromere (Sterne et al., 2021, Sturner et al., 2025). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2025). DNxn066 bilateral
