A single pair of these neurons is present in the pharate adult, and is required for the ’lights on response’ in eclosion frequency (McNabb and Truman, 2008). Eh expression is strongly reduced after eclosion (McNabb and Truman, 2008). Its cell body is found in the anterior superior medial protocerebrum (SMP) and its arborizations are visible in the medial SMP, the median bundle, around the esophageal foramen and in the dorsal subesophageal zone (Selcho et al., 2018). It has postsynapses and peptide release sites in these locations, but no apparent presynapses (Selcho et al., 2018). Descending fibers enter the cervical connective and other fibers leave the central brain along the esophagus to innervate the hypocerebral ganglion and corpus cardiacum (Selcho et al., 2018). Expresses a CCAP-GAL4, but does not immunostain for CCAP at the pharate adult stage (Selcho et al., 2018).

The latter neurites traverse along the median neurosecretory cells in the pars intercerebralis and terminate near the mushroom bodies (Melcher and Pankratz, 2005). Hugin neurons synapse with DH44 neurons in the pars intercerebralis, the subesophageal zone and along the midline of the brain between these regions. Hugin positive axons project to the ventral nerve cord, where they synapse with vGlut positive motor neurons (King et al., 2017). Synapsing data shown by GRASP (King et al., 2017).

It extends thin branches laterally in the dorsal protocerebrum, shorter branches along the cell neurites in the dorsal part of the median bundle and has extensive arborizations in the tritocerebrum (Enell et al., 2010). A single axon extends ventrally, branching just before exiting the brain, emerging as two branches that follow the aorta and innervate the corpus cardiacum in the ring gland and the hypocerebral ganglion, near the cardiac valve of the midgut. One of the branches follows the stalk of the crop, whilst the other bifurcates, with each of these branches extending along each side of the midgut (Cao and Brown, 2001). There are seven of these cells from each hemisphere with their cell bodies clustering in the pars intercerebralis at late pupal stages (Cao and Brown, 2001, Broughton et al., 2005, Cao et al., 2014). These cells co-express Ilp2, Ilp3 and Ilp5 mRNA (Broughton et al., 2005). Insulin-producing cells are found amongst the median neurosecretory cells, but not all mNSCs are IPCs (FlyBase:FBrf0212696), despite misleading phrasing in some articles (e.g. FlyBase:FBrf0184236).

Unlike the larval ipc-1 cells, the adult cells also express short neuropeptide F (sNPF) and Tachykinin (Tk) (Kahsai et al., 2010). These are the same as the anterior leucokinin neurons (Zandawala et al., 2018), they express an Lk-GAL4, but Lk expression is not apparent with antibody staining (de Haro et al., 2010; Zandawala et al., 2018).

Four axons extend along the cervical connective to the ventral nerve cord. The axons that extend along the ventral nerve cord connect to the leucokinin ABLK neurons. There are two to three pairs of neurons (de Haro et al., 2010).

There are two of these cells on each side, with their cell bodies located dorsally in the posterior metathoracic neuromere (Chen et al., 2015). Only 4 cells per VNC labelled by antibody and in situ despite more expressing GAL4 driver (Chen et al., 2015).

Allatostatin A-expressing neuron of the adult that has its cell body in the superior lateral protocerebrum (Ni et al., 2019). These neurons are glutamatergic and express the Allatostatin A neuropeptide (Ni et al., 2019). Their activation increases sleep upstream of ExFl2 neurons, to which they synapse in the superior medial protocerebrum (Ni et al., 2019). Synapsing shown by GRASP and functional data (Ni et al., 2019).
DN1p neuron that expresses allatostatin C (AstC). It also expresses CNMa and Dh31 (Zhang et al., 2021). There are approximately 4-6 of these cells per DN1p cluster (Diaz et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2021). Some of these cells are anterior-projecting and some are ventro-contralateral-projecting (Zhang et al., 2021). Diaz et al. (2019) report 4 cells (which are also glutamatergic), Zhang et al. (2021) report 6. Based on images in these papers, it looks like 4 stain strongly for AstC and a couple more only stain weakly. Zhang et al. (2021) report innervation of the AOTU and PI, implying both a-DN1ps and vc-DN1ps are among these cells.
DN3 neuron that expresses allatostatin C (AstC). There are approximately 20 of these per DN3 cluster (Diaz et al., 2019). In females, its AstC levels and steady-state firing rate are reduced in cold temperatures and it is involved in the regulation of egg production in response to cold temperatures (Meiselman et al., 2022). These cells are present in males (Diaz et al., 2019) and females (Meiselman et al., 2022), but function only investigated in females in Meiselman et al. (2022).

Ilp7-expressing neuron of the embryo or larva that belongs to the dorsal pair (one cell per hemineuromere) with cell bodies in abdominal neuromere 1 (Miguel-Aliaga et al., 2008). Unlike other Ilp7 neurons, it also expresses sNPF (Hu et al., 2017). It extends anteriorly and posteriorly along the length of the ventral nerve cord and its axon terminals reach the pars intercerebralis (Hu et al., 2017). It receives input from multidendritic neurons, including class IV neurons (Hu et al., 2017) and its activity can enhance, but not induce, mechanonociceptive responses, dependent on sNPF (Hu et al., 2017).

Ion transport peptide (ITP)-expressing neuron of the brain. It is found in a cluster of four cells with cell bodies in the pars lateralis and it sends axons to the corpus cardiacum (Dircksen et al., 2008).
Ion transport peptide (ITP)-expressing neuron of the peripheral nervous system (Dircksen et al., 2008).
LNd neuron of the adult brain characterized by the expression of ion transport peptide (ITP) and cryptochrome (CRY). From the cell body in the anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (AVLP), the neuron projects medially around the anterior optic tract (AOT) and dorsally along the surface of the lateral horn (LH). At the posterior surface of the LH, the neuron branches. One main branch projects towards the medulla, via the posterior lateral protocerebrum (PLP) and the accessory medulla (AME), with extensive further branching. The other main branch innervates the superior neuropils. Projections from both hemispheres overlap in the superior medial protocerebrum (SMP). This describes one of the six LNd neurons per hemisphere. Possible equivalence with ’extra LNd neuron’, as both have a large cell body compared to other LNds (FlyBase:FBrf0238313 and FlyBase:FBrf0191052).
Neuron that expresses Ion transport peptide. It is neurosecretory.

Neuron of the period-expressing LNv cluster of the adult brain, with a large cell body and generally located more dorsally than the s-LNv neurons (Helfrich-Forster, 1998). There are four of these cells present in each cluster, all of which express Pdf (FBgn0023178). These neurons send dendrites through the posterior optic commissure to the contralateral optic lobe, where a few short fibers terminate in the accessory medulla, but most arborize extensively in the medulla itself (Helfrich-Forster, 2005; Helfrich-Forster et al., 2007). These arborizations in the medulla are associated with varicosities. These cells also project to the ipsilateral (adjacent) accessory medulla and its ventral extension, where they arborize extensively. While l-LNv neurons fit the definition of pacemaker neurons based on molecular oscillation of Period (FBgn0003068) and Timeless (FBgn0014396) expression, they do not sustain this molecular oscillation when kept in constant darkness (Yang and Sehgal, 2001; Shafer et al., 2002). Synaptobrevin localization supports the assertion that projections through the posterior optic commissure to the contralateral optic lobe are dendritic (Helfrich-Forster et al., 2007).
Adult Pdf neuron of the abdominal neuromere with a larger cell body than the small Pdf neurons that are located more posteriorly (Helfrich-Forster, 1997).

Larval premotor neuron of the ventral nerve cord that is part of lineage 26 (Zwart et al., 2016). From a dorsolateral soma, its primary neurite extends ventromedially, at the midline, one branch extends dorsally and another crosses the midline, mirroring the ipsilateral circular shape of the neuron contralaterally (Zwart et al., 2016). On the contralateral side, a branch with presynapses extends anteriorly (Zarin et al., 2019). It expresses Corazonin (Zarin et al., 2019).

Larval neuron that expresses Leucokinin (FBgn0028418) whose cell body is located ventrolaterally in each neuromere of the abdominal ganglion. Each neuron produces a pair of axons, one of which projects dorsally and emerges from the ventral ganglia through an anterior segmental nerve of each hemineuromere. The other branch divides centrally into two branches: one send its neurites to the anterior ABLK and the other ventrally to the posterior ABLK. From each segmental nerve one axon emerges that synapses to the adjacent segment border muscle, close to the spiracle (Haro et al., 2010; Landgraf et al., 2003). These synapses lack the typical morphology of motor-neuron synapses (Landgraf et al., 2003) and are not glutamatergic (Haro et al., 2010). There is one pair of neurons in each of seven abdominal neuromeres (de Haro et al., 2010). The more anterior ABLK neurons are connected to the leucokinin SELK neuron of the subesophageal ganglion in the dorsal-medial tract (de Haro et al., 2010). Landgraf et al., 2003, also detected leucokinin positive terminals on A1-7 ventral longitudinal (VL) muscles. It is not clear where these neuron originate from.
Larval neuron that expresses the A isoform of Orcokinin and has its soma in a larval abdominal neuromere (Chen et al., 2015). There is one of these per abdominal 1-5 hemineuromere, with a laterally-located soma (Chen et al., 2015). Distinct from Leucokinin neurons (Chen et al., 2015). These are the only Orcokinin neurons found in the third instar CNS (Chen et al., 2015).
Larval neuron that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976), whose cell body is located in the anterior protocerebrum and that innervates the ventral nerve cord. At the third instar larval stage, these neurons also form arborizations at two sites near the midline of the protocerebrum and in the subesophageal ganglion. At the level of the ventral nerve cord, this neuron has one main axon and two additional processes, one longer and one shorter than the main axon. There is one neuron per hemisphere (Winther et al., 2003; Siviter et al., 2000). Tachykinin expression was observed by in situ hybridization and immunostaining. This pair of neurons is present in all larval stages.
Larval neuron that releases Capability peptide(s). This includes one cell per hemisphere in the subesophageal ganglion and three per hemisphere found in abdominal neuromeres (Kean et al., 2002).
Larval neuron that expresses CCAP (Crustacean cardioactive peptide) (FBgn0039007), Bursicon (FBgn0038901), Partner of Bursicon (FBgn0264810) and Myoinhibiting peptide precursor (FBgn0036713). The soma is located around the abdominal neuromeres A1 to A4, in a varied position from more medial to more dorsal. There are two neurons in each hemineuromere.
Larval neuron that expresses CCAP (Crustacean cardioactive peptide) (FBgn0039007), Bursicon (FBgn0038901), Partner of Bursicon (FBgn0264810) and Myoinhibiting peptide precursor (FBgn0036713) of the abdominal neuromere. The primary neurite extends to the midline and arborizes dorsally between the DM and VM fascicles, up to the segment borders. It then projects mediodorsally and dorsolaterally until it leaves the central neuropil. It then diverges in the dorsal cortex, projects via the segmental nerve to the periphery and forms type III terminals on body wall ventral longitudinal muscles 1 and 2.
Larval neuron that expresses CCAP (Crustacean cardioactive peptide) (FBgn0039007), Bursicon (FBgn0038901), Partner of Bursicon (FBgn0264810) and Myoinhibiting peptide precursor (FBgn0036713) of the abdominal neuromere. The primary neurite extends to the midline and arborizes dorsally between the DM and VM fascicles, up to the segment borders. It then projects ventrolaterally in the contralateral neuropil and branches in a T-shape at the VL fascicle: a long posterior branch follows the VL fascicle until its posterior end and then bend medially; a shorter anterior branch follows the VL fascicle until its anterior end at the border between the subesophageal ganglion and brain, and then bends medially forming small arborizations.
Larval neuron that expresses CCAP (Crustacean cardioactive peptide) (FBgn0039007) and whose soma is located laterally around the abdominal neuromeres A5 to A7, between the height of the VL and DL fascicles. The primary neurite extends to the midline and arborizes dorsally between the DM and VM fascicles, up to the segment borders. It then projects ventrolaterally in the contralateral neuropil and branches in a T-shape at the VL fascicle: a long posterior branch follows the VL fascicle until its posterior end and then bend medially; a shorter anterior branch follows the VL fascicle until its anterior end at the border between the subesophageal ganglion and brain, and then bends medially forming small arborizations.

Any embryonic/larval neuron (FBbt:00001446) that capable of some peptide hormone secretion (GO:0030072) and expresses Crz (FBgn0013767).
Larval corazonin-expressing neuron that has its soma in the pars lateralis (Siegmund and Korge, 2001). It projects to the ring gland, where it has peptide release sites in the aorta, corpus cardiacum, corpus allatum and the prothoracic gland (Siegmund and Korge, 2001; Imura et al., 2020; Huckesfeld et al., 2021). In the prothoracic gland, it makes contacts with the PTTH neurons, which express the corazonin receptor (Imura et al., 2020). There are three of these cells per hemisphere (Siegmund and Korge, 2001; Imura et al., 2020).
Diuretic hormone 44 (DH44)-expressing neuron having a cell body located in the larval pars intercerebralis (PI). Three bilateral pairs exist and co-express leucokinin receptor (Cabrero et al., 2002). These cells also express dimmed and are distinct from insulin-secreting cells, SIFamide cells and dromyosuppressin cells in the PI (Park et al., 2008). Possible equivalence with one of the ‘corpus cardiacum innervating neuron’ classes, particularly ‘CC/A-PI 1’ (FBbt_00007467) described in FBrf0134726.
DH44-expressing neuron with a cell body located in the larval ventral nerve cord. These neurons are more abundant in the larva and pupa than the adult.
Neuron of the larval pars intercerebralis (PI) that expresses dromyosuppressin (DMS) (Park et al., 2008). There are two of these cells per hemisphere (McCormick and Nichols, 1993), which also express dimmed, and they are distinct from the PI neurons that express insulin like peptides, diuretic hormone 44 and SIFamide (Park et al., 2008). Its axon innervates the corpus cardiacum (Wegener et al., 2011).
Drosulfakinin neuron with its soma in the larval pars intercerebralis. These neurons are a subset of the insulin secreting cells (Soderberg et al., 2012).
A neuron of the larval brain that expresses eclosion hormone. A single pair of these neurons is present per larva. Their processes extend the entire length of the central nervous system and also to the corpora cardiaca portion of the ring gland via the nervus corporis cardiaci I (NccI).
A larval neuron that expresses GPA2/GPB5 (FBgn0261386 and FBgn0063368) and that is located in the ventral nerve cord ganglion. There are 4 pairs of bilateral neurons in the first 4 neuromeres. The axons of these neurons leave the neuropil via the segmental nerves and innervate abdominal muscles.
Larval neuron of the central nervous system that expresses Hugin (FBgn0028374). There are 20 of neurons, with their cell bodies located in the subesophageal ganglion. They can be divided into 4 subsets depending on their innervation patterns: protocerebrum, ventral nerve cord, corpora cardiaca in the ring gland and the pharynx. All Hugin neurons receive inputs within the subesophageal ganglion.
Larval neuron that expresses Hugin (FBgn0028374) whose soma is located in the cortex of the medial subesophageal ganglion, directly below the esophagus and whose axon innervates the contralateral corpus cardiacum. It also shows an ipsilateral neurite that can vary in length. There are two of these cells per hemisphere. The vast majority of their synaptic inputs are from interneurons and they do not have synaptic outputs within the central nervous system (Schlegel et al., 2016). They do have release sites in the ring gland that border hemal space, indicating neuroendocrine activity (Schlegel et al., 2016). Recorded as neurosecretory because Siegmund and Korge (2001) say so. Assume this is implied from its innervation of the corpus cardiacum. They also describe only 2 of these neurons, although Bader et al. (2007) say that there are 4 of these. Synapsing identified in full L1 VNC EM volume - approximately 93 percent of synapses are with interneurons (Schlegel et al., 2016).
Larval neuron that expresses Hugin (FBgn0028374) and that projects to the anterior pharynx. The neurites leave the subesophageal ganglion, make a U-turn and terminate at the anterior region of the dorsal pharyngeal muscles. This neuron is part of the dopaminergic SM1 cluster of the larval brain. There are two of these per hemisphere; the vast majority of their synaptic inputs are from interneurons and they do not have synaptic outputs within the central nervous system (Schlegel et al., 2016). This neuron was described as dopaminergic because it is labelled by the driver TH-GAL4 (FBtp0020119) although it is not positive for the anti-TH antibody (Selcho et al., 2009). A subset of the pharynx and the VNC hugin neurons expresses ChAT and this expression is required for full Hugin neuron function - i.e. some neurons of this class may be cholinergic (Schlegel et al., 2016). Synapsing identified in full L1 VNC EM volume - approximately 97 percent of synapses are with interneurons (Schlegel et al., 2016).
Cholinergic larval neuron that expresses Hugin (FBgn0028374) and that arborizes in the protocerebrum (Bader et al., 2007; Schlegel et al., 2016). This neuron arborizes in the ipsilateral or both hemispheres of the protocerebrum and the ventrolateral region of the esophagus foramen. As well as receiving inputs in the subesophageal ganglion, they also have outputs in the subesophageal ganglion. There are four of these neurons per hemisphere and they form reciprocal ipsilateral connections amongst themselves and also have outputs to insulin secreting cells of the pars intercerebralis (Schlegel et al., 2016). Much of their synaptic input is from sensory neurons (Schlegel et al., 2016). Synapsing identified in full L1 VNC EM volume - all hugin-PC cells have presynaptic connections to multiple insulin cells and up to 39 percent of synaptic input is from sensory neurons (Schlegel et al., 2016).
Larval neuron that expresses Hugin (FBgn0028374) and that projects to the ventral nerve cord (Bader et al., 2007). This neuron has a long projection travelling down contralaterally along the lateral neuropil border of the ventral nerve cord. Three or four shorter fibers project on either side of the midline. Two fibers project anteriorly and pass along either side of the esophagus foramen, terminating at the medial end of the protocerebrum. There are two of these neurons per hemisphere and they form reciprocal ipsilateral connections amongst themselves (Schlegel et al., 2016). Much of their synaptic input is from sensory neurons (Schlegel et al., 2016). A subset of the pharynx and the VNC hugin neurons expresses ChAT and this expression is required for full Hugin neuron function - i.e. some neurons of this class may be cholinergic (Schlegel et al., 2016). Synapsing identified in full L1 VNC EM volume - up to 39 percent of synaptic input is from sensory neurons (Schlegel et al., 2016).
Ion transport peptide (ITP)-expressing neuron with its cell body in the eighth larval abdominal neuromere (Dircksen et al., 2008). There is one dorsal lateral pair and two or three, more posterior, ventral pairs of these neurons, which extend axons medially, then exit via the eighth abdominal nerve to the hindgut (Dircksen et al., 2008). Not clear whether A8 nerve in reference (Dircksen et al., 2008) is equivalent to an A8 nerve in FBbt [FBC:CP].
Insulin-producing neurosecretory cell of the larval pars intercerebralis. Its axonal projection bifurcates, with one of the main branches projecting to the contralateral side and exiting the brain and bifurcating again. One of these secondary branches fasciculates with the nerve tracts that innervate the corpus cardiacum in the ring gland and also innervates the hypocerebral ganglion. The other follows the aorta and innervates the heart (Cao and Brown, 2001, Rulifson et al., 2002, Ikeya et al., 2002). The other main projection innervates the subesophageal ganglion, the esophagus (Rulifson et al., Ikeya et al., 2002) and the tritocerebrum (de Velasco et al., 2007). In third instar larva, the axonal processes project contralaterally and posteriorly, make a U-turn and extend anteriorly to terminals outside the brain. The dendritic processes extend ventrally and laterally (Cao et al., 2014). There are seven of these cells in each hemisphere (Cao and Brown, 2001, Rulifson et al., 2002, Ikeya et al., 2002, Cao et al., 2014). The same cells express Ilp2, Ilp3 and Ilp5 mRNA with different temporal profiles (Ikeya et al., 2002). These cells also express dimmed (FBgn0023091) and Drosulfakinin (FBgn0000500) (Park et al., 2008). They receive synaptic input from hugin neurons of the protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2016). These cells were identified in second and third instar larva (Ikeya et al., 2002). Insulin-producing cells are found amongst the median neurosecretory cells, but not all mNSCs are IPCs (FlyBase:FBrf0212696), despite misleading phrasing in some articles (e.g. FlyBase:FBrf0184236). Synapsing identified in full L1 VNC EM volume - all insulin cells have connections from multiple hugin-PC cells (Schlegel et al., 2016).
Ion transport peptide (ITP)-expressing neuron of the larval brain. It is found in a cluster of four cells with cell bodies in the pars lateralis and it sends axons to the ipsilateral ring gland, innervating the corpus cardiacum and prothoracic gland (Dircksen et al., 2008; de Haro et al., 2010). There is some heterogeneity among this population, with one cell crossing the midline and one innervating the corpus allatum (Dircksen et al., 2008). Putative dendrites extend from some of these cells, with terminals in the subesophageal ganglion (Dircksen et al., 2008). They express the neuropeptide Leucokinin and this can be detected in the corpus cardiacum terminals, although it is less apparent in the soma (de Haro et al., 2010). These may be the DMS/ITP cells (PL 1-3 and PL 7) from Park et al., 2008 (FBrf0210278). These are the same as the anterior leucokinin cells (Zandawala et al., 2018).
Ion transport peptide (ITP)-expressing neuron of the larval peripheral nervous system (Dircksen et al., 2008). This includes a lateral body wall neuron, which may be an abdominal intersegmental bidendritic neuron (Dircksen et al., 2008).

There is one bilateral pair of these neurons with processes running to the dorsal side and spanning almost the entire ventral nerve cord (Dircksen et al., 2008).
Larval neuron that expresses Leucokinin (FBgn0028418) whose cell body is located in the anterodorsal brain and projects to a ventromedial location. The main neurite bifurcates into two collaterals during late larval stages, with the main one being in close proximity to the medial antennal lobe tract. The collaterals arborize close to the mushroom body pedunculus and calyx. There is one neuron per hemisphere (de Haro et al., 2010).

Larval Pdf (FBgn0023178) expressing neuron whose cell body lies in a cluster within the dorsal cortex. Pdf expression begins late in L1. Its process project into the median ventral brain dorsolateral to the esophagus. There are two to four of these neurons per cluster. Helfrich-Forster (1997) notes that the Pdf staining is faint and is only visible in 50% of examined larval brains.
Pdf-expressing neuron whose cell body is located in a ventral cluster in the eighth larval abdominal neuromere of the ventral ganglion. There are 8 of these per cluster - each projecting though the paired eighth abdominal nerve to the posterior end of the larva (Helfrich-Forster, 1997). They are glutamatergic motor neurons that arborize over the posterior end of the hindgut, with refined branches and abundant bouton structures (Zhang et al., 2014).

Larval neuron that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976) and whose cell body and arborization are located in the dorsal or medial protocerebrum (Siviter et al., 2000). The number of neurons increases during larval stages: 5 pairs are observed at first instar stage and 11 at prepupal stage P1. In third instar larvae some of these neurons have bilateral arborizations crossing the midline by two commissures (Winther et al., 2003). Tachykinin expression was observed by in situ hybridization and immunostaining, with more cells being labelled by in situ hybridization.
Larval neuron that has its soma in the central nervous system and projects through the nervus corporis cardiaci (Huckesfeld et al., 2021). It releases neuropeptide in the ring gland or aorta via non-synaptic dense core vesicles (Huckesfeld et al., 2021).
Larval s-LNv neuron that expresses Pdf (FBgn0023178) from 4-5 hours after hatching and persists into adulthood (Helfrich-Forster, 1997). Its cell body is located close to the larval optic neuropil, into which dendritic fibers extend, spanning the distal and intermediate regions (Larderet et al., 2017). It projects to the superior lateral protocerebrum, where it has presynaptic terminals (Larderet et al., 2017). There are four of these cells per hemisphere.
Neuron of the larval pars intercerebralis (PI) that expresses SIFamide (SIFa) as well as dimmed. There are two of these cells per hemisphere. These cells are distinct from the PI neurons that express insulin like peptides, diuretic hormone 44 and dromyosuppressin. The four neurons each have a major axon which projects to the contralateral side and extends into the ventral nerve cord, while a minor one projects to the deutocerebrum and tritocerebrum (Terhzaz et al., 2007).
Larval capability-releasing neuron with a cell body in the subesophageal ganglion. There is one cell per hemisphere, with a large cell body. Its axon leaves the brain via the nervus corporis cardiaci, reaching the retrocerebral complex (Kean et al., 2002). These were the only cells in the subesophageal ganglion to stain with an antibody against a linking region of the Capability prepropeptide (Kean et al., 2002).
Larval neuron that expresses Leucokinin (FBgn0028418) whose cell body is located in the subesophageal ganglion. The axon collaterals in the brain form a complex pattern of thin neurites that project in the subesophageal ganglion and tritocerebrum. The axons extend along the ventral nerve cord innervating the contralateral side and to form a ladder-like structure. The axons connect to the end of the abdominal ganglia in a terminal plexus. The axons that extend along the ventral nerve cord connect to the leucokinin ABLK neurons. There are two to three pairs of neurons (de Haro et al., 2010).
A larval neuron that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976) and that is located in the central nervous system (Winther et al., 2003).
Larval neuron that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976) whose cell body is located in the abdominal neuromere. The number of neurons increases throughout larval development: 1 pair at first instar, two to three at second instar, 4 to 8 pairs at early third instar, 7 to 10 late third instar and 7 to 8 at prepupal stage P1 (Winther et al., 2003). Tachykinin expression was observed by in situ hybridization and immunostaining. At prepupal stage P1, 7 additional pairs of labelled neurons are observed in the lateral abdominal ganglia. They are weakly labelled by immunostaining, but more strongly labelled by in situ hybridization (Winther et al., 2003).

Period-expressing neuron located in a cluster of 3-4 cells in the lateral central brain of the adult, medial to the LNd cluster and near the posterior of the brain (Shafer et al., 2006; Helfrich-Forster, 2005). These neurons are glutamatergic and express the Allatostatin A neuropeptide (Ni et al., 2019). Their activation increases sleep upstream of ExFl2 neurons, to which they synapse in the superior medial protocerebrum (Ni et al., 2019). Synapsing shown by GRASP and functional data (Ni et al., 2019).

Interneuron residing slightly anterior and ventral to the posterior commissure in the corner formed by the connectives and the posterior commissure (Bossing and Technau, 1994). Its ipsilateral projection bifurcates in an anterior and posterior branch (which spans up to three neuromeres) that run within the medial sector of the connective. It is a peptidergic neurosecretory cell (Manning et al., 2012).
Lateral-most of the two bilateral MP1 neurons found at the midline, anterior to the posterior commissure (Schmid et al., 1999). Doe et al., (1988) distinguish the MP1-progeny by referring to them as left or right. However, as this changes the identity of the cell depending on whether the right or left side of the animal is observed, we have adopted a nomenclature based on reference to the midline.

s-LNv neuron of the adult brain that does not express Pdf (FBgn0023178). There is one of these in each ventral cluster of LN period neurons. It is located more dorsally than the s-LNv Pdf neurons (Helfrich-Forster, 2007; Rieger et al., 2006). It extends a single neurite through the medulla that invades the lamina, forming thin arborizations in the lamina cortex near the retina that terminate at the border of the fenestrated glia (Damulewicz and Pyza, 2011). In the central brain, it extends arborizations that predominantly terminate in the neuropil region close to the pars intercerebralis. This neuron also expresses ion transport peptide (ITP) (Schubert et al., 2017). It is an evening cell (Liang et al., 2016; Liang et al., 2017; Delventhal et al., 2019). Helfrich-Forster et al., (2007) did not succeed in mapping the dorsal extent of the dorsal projection of this neuron. The presence of presynaptic sites was determined by immunostaining for the presynaptic marker bruchpilot (Brp) (Damulewicz and Pyza, 2011).
Neuron that expresses Pigment-dispersing factor, Pdf (FBgn0023178).
Neuron of the adult brain that expresses Pdf and whose soma is located dorsoanterior to the calyx of the mushroom body. Its branches extend ventrally into the dorsal esophageal foramen. There are between 4-8 neurons in each hemisphere.
Neuron with its soma located anteroventrally in the adult tritocerebrum that expresses Pdf (FBgn0023178) strongly until 24hrs after eclosion, after which Pdf immunoreactivity in the soma disappears (Helfrich-Forster, 1997). Within 2-4 days post-eclosion, Pdf immunoreactivity is also lost from the arborizations (Helfrich-Forster, 1997). There are 1-2 bilateral pairs of these in the pharate and newly-eclosed adult (Selcho et al., 2018). They arborize in the medial tritocerebrum around the periesophageal neuropils and in the gnathal ganglion, a varicose branch extends dorsally, via the median bundle, to the superior medial protocerebrum (Selcho et al., 2018). It has presynapses, postsynapses and peptidergic (Pdf) release sites in the subesophageal zone and the superior medial protocerebrum (Selcho et al., 2018).
Pdf positive neuron whose soma is located in the cortex of the fused adult abdominal ganglia. There are 4-6 of these, all of which project posteriorly, fasciculating with the abdominal nerve trunk.
Pupal late CCAP neuron whose soma is located in abdominal neuromeres A5 to A7 (Veverytsa and Allan, 2012). It expresses Bursicon and Partner of Bursicon in addition to CCAP (Veverytsa and Allan, 2012) There is one of these cells in each A5-A7 hemineuromere (Veverytsa and Allan, 2012). It extends an axon to the periphery via a lateral nerve trunk (Veverytsa and Allan, 2012). It is involved in leg extension during pupal ecdysis (Veverytsa and Allan, 2012).
Pupal neuron that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976), whose cell body is located in the cortex of the antennal lobe (Winther et al., 2003). Tachykinin expression was observed by in situ hybridization and immunostaining at pupal stages P8 and P9, with more cells and stronger labelling obtained being in situ hybridization (Winther et al., 2003).
Pdf (FBgn0023178) neuron of the period-expressing LNv cluster, with a large cell body and generally located more dorsally than the s-LNv neurons. These cells begin to express Pdf at approximately 50% of pupal development.
Pupal neuron that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976), whose cell body is located in the lateral protocerebrum and that innervates the ventral nerve cord (Winther et al., 2003). This neuron probably corresponds to the larval and adult large descending DN neurons. Tachykinin expression was observed by in situ hybridization and immunostaining (Winther et al., 2003).
CCAP-expressing neuron that develops from an undifferentiated primary neuron shortly before pupal ecdysis (Veverytsa and Allan, 2012). There are 12 of these, found in posterior abdominal neuromeres of the ventral nerve cord. These neurons can trigger pupal ecdysis, which does not require the earlier-differentiating larval CCAP neurons (Veverytsa and Allan, 2012).
Pdf expressing neuron that is part of the pupa.
Neuron of the pupa that is located dorsoanterior to the calyx of the mushroom body and that expresses Pdf (FBgn0023178).
Pupal Pdf expressing neuron whose soma is located in a cluster antero-ventral the tritocerebrum. There are 2-4 of these per cluster.
Pupal neuron that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976), whose cell body is located in the lateral posterior protocerebrum and that innervates the superior median protocerebrum and fan-shaped body (Winther et al., 2003). Tachykinin expression was observed by in situ hybridization and immunostaining at pupal stages P8 and P9, with more cells being labelled by immunostaining (Winther et al., 2003).
Pupal s-LNv that expresses Pdf (FBgn0023178). There are four of these per cluster of pupal s-LNv neurons.
Pupal neuron that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976) and that is located in the central nervous system (Winther et al., 2003).
s-LNv neuron of the adult brain that expresses Pdf (FBgn0023178). There are four of these in each ventral cluster of LNs. Short, fine fibers lacking presynaptic sites contact the accessory medulla, whilst longer processes project toward the dorsal protocerebrum and terminate dorsofrontal to the mushroom body calyx close to the pars lateralis and close to the DN2 neurons (Helfrich-Forster et al., 2007). Thes dorsal arbors contain both pre- and postsynaptic connections, including reciprocal connections to DN1p neurons (Yasuyama and Meinertzhagen, 2010, Fernandez et al., 2020), and their morphology and connectivity vary throughout the day (Gorostiza et al., 2014). Pdf rich dense-synaptic vesicles accumulate in terminal varicosities in these cells, but are not associated with presynaptic sites (Miskiewicz et al., 2004; Yasuyama and Meinertzhagen, 2010). They can be observed docked at the plasma membrane, suggesting paracrine release of Pdf. They drive the morning locomotor activity peak (Liang et al., 2016; Liang et al., 2017; Delventhal et al., 2019) and display a morning neural activity peak that precedes this increased locomotor activity (Liang et al., 2016). Dorsal projections judged by curator to terminate in the superior lateral protocerebrum (SLP) as defined by the Ito et al. (2014) standard. This is the only group of pacemaker neurons currently classed as ‘morning cells’ (Liang et al., 2016; Liang et al., 2017; Delventhal et al., 2019). In some older papers, it is unclear whether l-LNvs are included as ‘morning cells’ (Grima et al., 2004 - FBrf0179741; Lear et al., 2009 - FBrf0208444).

Any neuron (FBbt:00005106) that capable of some peptide hormone secretion (GO:0030072) and expresses Trissin (FBgn0038343).
Larval neurosecretory abdominal neuron whose cell body is located near the ventrolateral tract of the midline. It projects its axon dorsomedially through the neuropil passing below the central intermediate and dorsal median tracts. The axon reaches the midline near the transverse projection 3 where it joins with the axon of the contralateral Va neuron. The two axons project dorsally together a short distance before diverging and forming a loop inside the neuropil and dorsal cortex. The loop closes just before the neurites leave the ventral ganglion and innervate the abdominal neurohemal organ. There are 3 bilateral pairs of Va neurons, one bilateral pair in each of the first 3 abdominal neuromeres, and they all express Capability (Santos et al., 2007). The neuron is identified as neurosecretory because it expresses neuropeptides and innervates a neurohemal organ (Santos et al., 2007).
Peptidergic neuron located at the ventral surface of the larval ventral nerve cord in abdominal segments A2-A4. Suska et al., 2011, use immunoreactivity to proCapa, Dimm and Dac to identify vA neurons. Expression is restricted to abdominal segments A2-A4 from embryonic stage 17 onwards, but is present in vA-like cells in most abdominal and thoracic segments from stage 14 to 17.
