Type: Interneuron
Connectivity:
- In WormWiring: DVFm
- In Nemanode:
In Wormbase: DVF
Lineage: B.ppppa
Location: Dorsorectal ganglion
Description: Postembryonically born male-specific interneuron. The DVF process enters the preanal ganglion on the left and contains large vesicles (Sulston et al., 1980). DVF synapses extensively onto SPCL. After traveling in VNC anteriorly, the process terminates in midbody.
Neurotransmitter/ Neuropeptide:
- Acetylcholine
- Unknown Monoamine
(Pereira et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2024)

Receptor expression:
Function: Possible role in male sperm activation or sperm transfer during mating (Emmons and Sternberg, 1997-Table 1)
