Figure 1: Schema of the adult Drosophila leg motor system.

Figure 1:

The cell bodies of the adult leg MNs (green) are localized in the cortex (grey) of the thoracic ganglion of the VNC. MNs arborize their dendrites in the leg neuropil (blue) and send their axons into the leg to innervate one of the 14 leg muscles (red). Note that only the T1 legs are schematized.
