General Information
Term epaulette ID (Ontology) FBbt:00040040 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition A small, bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain of the ventral complex, lying below the inferior clamp and superior-lateral to the vest.[ FlyBase:FBrf0193607 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 ]
Also Known As "EPA"
Comment The name is taken from the ornamental shoulder piece of military generals based on its shape and position relative to other sartorially named domains of the ventral complex. The epaulette corresponds to part of the inferior region of the vmpr of Otsuna and Ito (2006) and the part of the precommissural ventromedial cerebrum (Ito et al., 2014).
