T2VUM2 [FBbt_00052753]

Adult mesothoracic VUM neuron with a horizontal main fiber, straight anterior and posterior fibers along the midline and a nest of dense fibers all around the central wing neuropil (Ehrhardt et al., 2023). It is a neuromodulatory neuron that innervates wing muscles (Ehrhardt et al., 2023).

Adult Nervous system Neuron

Ehrhardt et al. (2023) think that T2VUM2 might match blowfly mesVUM-TT (innervates tergotrochanter muscle), but drosophila muscles were not definitively assigned to individual VUMs in this study. Likely to be octopaminergic or tyraminergic (Ehrhardt et al., 2023).
