oviEN [FBbt_00049927]
Cholinergic neuron of the adult female that synapses onto and excites oviposition descending neurons, and increases oviposition (Wang et al., 2020). It has reciprocal connections to the oviposition inhibitory neuron and also receives sensory information about the laying substrate (Wang et al., 2020). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Wang et al., 2020). Its cell body is in the dorsal brain and its arbors are mainly in the ipsilateral protocerebrum, including the superior medial protocerebrum (Wang et al., 2020).
