fru-vMS16 [FBbt_00053051]

Adult fruitless neuron with its cell body located in the ventral mesothoracic neuromere (Lillvis et al., 2024). It has arbors on all both sides of three thoracic neuromeres, with densest innervation of the mesothoracic neuromere (Lillvis et al., 2024). It also ascends to the brain (Lillvis et al., 2024). There is one of these cells on each side (Lillvis et al., 2024). It is dopaminergic (Lillvis et al., 2024). It is the mesothoracic AN27X003 neuron (Takemura et al., 2024; Marin et al., 2024).
