Members: AVL.
AVL is a motoneuron/interneuron with its cell body situated in the ventral ganglion. An
anteriorly directed process runs in the mid-line on the dorsal surface of the neuropile of the
ventral ganglion. It enters the ring on the left and makes a complete circuit running near the
outside surface and the anterior face. It then re-enters the neuropile of the ventral ganglion
and runs posteriorly down the length of the ventral cord running in the ventral regions of the
process bundle. AVL has few synaptic connections in the nerve ring. In the ventral cord the
synapses are rather small and are onto muscles (a), SAB (b) and VD12. Synapses are received
from DVB and PVP (*e). There is a gap junction to PVM (d), DVB and several rather
marginal gap junctions to DVC.
