It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the brain, it has postsynapses in the ipsilateral superior posterior slope and vest, and has presynapses in the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Within the VNC, it fasciculates with the median dorsal abdominal tract and sends output to the leg neuropil (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Sturner et al., 2025). Type identified at light level and matched across EM datasets by Sturner et al. (2025). Pre- or post-synapse locations are those with the highest total count of these neurons in FlyWire FAFB.
