General Information
Term	wind sensitive wedge projection neuron	ID (Ontology)	FBbt:00048517 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition	Projection neuron that receives input in the wedge and is activated by wind (Suver et al., 2019). Its soma is found near the lateral horn and it has a ventral projection to the ipsilateral wedge, where it branches extensively, then a dorsal projection to the antler and superior clamp, in many cases the neuron then extends across the midline to the contralateral antler and superior clamp (Suver et al., 2019; Coates et al., 2020). This is a large anatomical class with different individual neurons having different tunings (Suver et al., 2019).[ FlyBase:FBrf0242465 FlyBase:FBrf0246448 ]
Comment	The two 'wedge projection neurons' (WPN) identified by Suver et al. (2019) are a subset of this larger class of wind sensitive wedge projection neurons that have outputs in the ipsilateral and contralateral superior clamp and antler.
