General Information
|
| Term |
adult mediolateral antennal lobe tract |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00003984 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Tract that arises from the posterior dorsomedial antennal lobe and shares the same root with the medial antennal lobe tract (mALT) and transverse antennal lobe tract (tALT) (dorsomedial root). It connects the antennal lobe and the lateral horn directly, bypassing the mushroom body main calyx. It contains axons of antennal lobe projection neurons, some of which terminate in the lateral accessory calyx (Yagi et al., 2016). Neuronal fibers of the mlALT run together with the medial antennal lobe tract (mALT) and separate from it at the level of the ventrolateral surface of the fan-shaped body, turn laterally, run below the mushroom body pedunculus and project to the lateral horn. It demarcates the boundaries of the fan-shaped body (anterior region), lateral accessory lobe (posterior region), epaulette (superior region), inferior clamp (anterior-superior region) and mushroom body pedunculus (inferior region). It is formed by axons of the BAla1 (Alv1) lineage (Lovick et al., 2013; Wong et al., 2013).[ FlyBase:FBrf0051437 FlyBase:FBrf0205263 FlyBase:FBrf0219793 FlyBase:FBrf0219809 FlyBase:FBrf0223298 FlyBase:FBrf0223329 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 ] |

| Comment |
One smaller tract (ml4ALT) branches from the mlALT at the mushroom body peduncle, runs posteriorly through the peduncle to terminate in the mushroom body calyx. Some of the projection neurons that fasciculate with the mlALT send collateral branches to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (PLP) via the lateral section of the posterior lateral fascicle (PLF) and to the ring neuropil via the superior section of the PLF (Tanaka et al., 2012). |
