General Information
Term dorsal tp motor neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00004071 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Motor neuron that innervates tergopleural muscle 1, ipsilaterally (Trimarchi and Schneiderman, 1994). It has a small, roughly spherical soma, mediolateral and ventral to the root of the posterior dorsal mesothoracic nerve (Trimarchi and Schneiderman, 1994). It extends across the entire width of the dorsal neuropil, arborizing in the ipsilateral and contralateral wing neuropil and mesothoracic leg neuropil (Trimarchi and Schneiderman, 1994; Ehrhardt et al., 2023). Its axon exits the ventral nerve cord in the anterior dorsal mesothoracic nerve (Trimarchi and Schneiderman, 1994). In the male, it plays a role in pulse song generation (O'Sullivan et al., 2018).[ FlyBase:FBrf0074636 FlyBase:FBrf0240039 ]
