wPN1 [FBbt_00053083]

Projection neuron that has its postsynapses mainly in the ipsilateral wing neuropil and its presynapses mainly in the contralateral metathoracic neuromere (Zhang and Simpson, 2022). It receives input from wing campaniform and bristle mechanosensory neurons and its activity induces ipsilateral wing grooming (Zhang and Simpson, 2022). There is one of these cells on each side, with its soma in the mesothoracic neuromere, and it is cholinergic (Zhang and Simpson, 2022).
