General Information
Term adult fruitless vPR9 neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00111145 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Fruitless neuron with its cell body located on the midline, immediately posterior to the prothoracic neuromere (Yu et al., 2010). It projects dorsally and arborizes in the wing neuropil (Yu et al., 2010; Lillvis et al., 2024). There are approximately 7 of these cells per organism and they are GABAergic (Lillvis et al., 2024). In males, they play a role in courtship song, with different subtypes being involved in pulse and sine song generation (Lillvis et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0211884 FlyBase:FBrf0258823 ]
Also Known As "fru-vPR9"
