larval Ladder neuron

ID: FBbt_00047202

Unpaired larval interneuron with a cell body on the midline of the ventral nerve cord (Jovanic et al., 2016). It projects dorsally, then branches in either direction laterally, before branching further to send dendrites anteriorly and posteriorly (Jovanic et al., 2016). It is GABAergic (Wang et al., 2022). There are six of these neurons per neuromere, consecutively born in the late MNB primary lineage, after the VUM motor neurons (Wang et al., 2022).
