General Information
Term embryonic/larval anterior ventromedial cerebrum ID (Ontology) FBbt:00007725 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition The anterior part of the ventromedial cerebrum (BPM). It abuts the posterior ventromedial cerebrum (VMCp) at the coronal slice level of the Great Commissure, (GC, BLAv1, BLD5; Pereanu et al. 2010). Ventrally, the boundary with the tritocerebrum (centro-medial and dorsal compartments) is defined by a somewhat curved, more or less axial plane defined by the tracts loVL (Balp2/3; Hartenstein et al., 2015), loVM (Bamv1/2; Hartenstein et al., 2015) and the BAla3 tract (Kumar et al., 2009). Medially, an extension of the centro-medial tritocerebrum is separated from the VMCa by the loVM (BAmv1/2) fascicle and a glial septum (Pereanu et al., 2006); more posteriorly, this boundary continues as a discontinuity in synaptic density (e.g. as assayed using the presynaptic marker bruchpilot). Laterally, the VMCa borders the lateral accessory lobe (LAL), separated by a virtual sagittal plane intersecting the deCP (DALd; posteriorly) and loVM (Bamv1/2; anteriorly) (Pereanu et al., 2006). At a more posterior level, the Ventro Lateral Protocerebrum (VLP) flanks the VMCa laterally, with the boundary along that of the posterior lateral protocerebrum (PLP)-VMCp, i.e. a virtual sagittal plane intersecting the LEFp (CP1v; posteriorly) and the loVL (Balp2/3; anteriorly) fascicles. The medial clamp borders the VMCa dorso-laterally with a virtual axial plane intersecting the MEF (CM1/3/4, medially) and LEFp (CP1v, laterally) fascicles constituting the boundary (Hartenstein et al., 2015). The Crepine borders dorsally, the boundary extending along the DALv2/3 (Hartenstein et al., 2015), DALcl1 and BAmd1v lineage tracts and the commissural fascicle SuEC (DALcl1v; Hartenstein et al., 2015). The lower toe (medial appendix of larval mushroom body) is dorso-medial. A region of low synaptic density separates the VMCa from the primordial fan-shaped body.[ FlyBase:FBrf0194268 FlyBase:FBrf0208824 FlyBase:FBrf0211016 FlyBase:FBrf0229672 ]
