larval ascending moonwalker-like backward neuron [FBbt_00052653]

Larval neuron with its soma in the subesophageal zone (SEZ), dendritic arborization from the SEZ to the mesothoracic neuromere, and ascending axonal projections to the brain (Omamiuda-Ishikawa et al., 2020). There is one of these cells per hemisphere and it is cholinergic (Omamiuda-Ishikawa et al., 2020). It is activated by blue light, downstream of class IV dendritic arborizing neurons (Omamiuda-Ishikawa et al., 2020). It outputs onto and can activate the mooncrawler descending neurons to stimulate backwards locomotion (Omamiuda-Ishikawa et al., 2020).

Does not fit FBbt definition of ascending as soma is in SEZ and not VNC.
