abdominal ventral bipolar dendrite neuron vbd

ID: FBbt_00002589

Bipolar dendrite neuron with its soma in the ventral sensory cluster of a larval abdominal segment, close to vdaA-D (Orgogozo and Grueber, 2005). It emits two dendritic branches along the anterior posterior axis (Bodmer and Jan, 1987; Orgogozo and Grueber, 2005). It is a proprioceptor neuron (Heckscher et al., 2015). It has strong outputs to the A08e3 local neuron, Jaam2 and A02b (Heckscher et al., 2015; Schneider-Mizell et al., 2016). It is cholinergic (Heckman and Doe, 2022).

The number of identified output synapses to Jaam2 was 32/21 (L/R) and to A08e3 was 15/9 (Heckscher et al., 2015). It is still not known if the pattern of connections in A1 is replicated in the other abdominal segments (Heckscher et al., 2015). The number of output synapses in Schneider-Mizell et al. (2016) was the estimated from the publication figures (number in brackets left/right where available; ipsi- and contralateral connections separated by comma): to A02b (15, 8/15, 10).
