adult moonwalker ascending neuron [FBbt_00111307]
Ascending neuron located in the adult ventral nerve cord. Its soma is located in the cell rind of the metathoracic ganglion. It arborizes in the metathoracic ganglion and projects into the medial subesophageal zone in the brain. Some presynaptic terminals are also observed in the metathoracic ganglion, wing neuropil and in other areas of the ventral nerve cord. This neuron is involved in facilitating backward walking in flies.
