adult moonwalker descending neuron [FBbt_00111308]
Descending neuron whose soma is located on the midline, near the medial posterior protocerebrum of the adult brain (Bidaye et al., 2014). It arborizes bilaterally in the medial ventral protocerebrum and subesophageal zone (Bidaye et al., 2014). Axonal terminals are located in the subesophageal zone and bilaterally in the thoracic neuromeres (Bidaye et al., 2014). This neuron is involved in triggering backward walking in flies (Bidaye et al., 2014). It develops from a larval mooncrawler descending neuron (Carreira-Rosario et al., 2018). There are two of these cells per hemisphere (Bidaye et al., 2014).
