VCvN_MN [FBbt_00053175]

Adult neck muscle motor neuron that enters the cervical connective, then exits via the ventral cervical nerve to reach its muscle target (Gorko et al., 2024). It has its soma in the ventral gnathal ganglion and ipsilateral arborization in the subesophageal zone (Gorko et al., 2024). There are three of these cells on each side and they innervate the oblique horizontal neck muscles (20) (Gorko et al., 2024).
