General Information
Term adult fruitless pMP2 neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00111170 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Male-specific fruitless neuron with its soma in the posterior medial protocerebrum, medial to the mushroom body calyx (Yu et al., 2010). It receives input in the brain and descends to the mesothoracic neuromere, where it innervates the wing neuropil (Yu et al., 2010). It expresses allatostatin C (Diaz et al., 2019) and it is cholinergic (Lillvis et al., 2024). There is around one of these cells per hemisphere (Yu et al., 2010; Lillvis et al., 2024). It plays a role in pulse song generation (Lillvis et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0211884 FlyBase:FBrf0241130 FlyBase:FBrf0258823 ]
