adult evening cell

ID: FBbt_00049636

Pacemaker neuron that drives the evening locomotor activity peak (Liang et al., 2016; Yao et al., 2016; Liang et al., 2017; Delventhal et al., 2019; Liang et al., 2019). It displays a morning neural activity peak that precedes the evening locomotor activity peak (Liang et al., 2016). These cells have projections to the dorsal protocerebrum that are remodeled throughout the day (Duhart et al., 2020). They output onto the morning cells (s-LNv Pdf neurons) in this region and this connection strength varies throughout the day (Duhart et al., 2020).

May be cholinergic and/or glutamatergic, but this was only shown indirectly (RNAi effect on function) (Duhart et al., 2020).
