General Information
|
| Term |
octopaminergic VUMa7 neuron |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00047936 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Octopaminergic neuron of the VUMa cluster. Its axons emerge from ramifications surrounding the esophagus foramen in the posterior slope. It sends one secondary neurite along the midline from the esophagus and this bifurcates ventral to the ellipsoid body and starts to ramify in both hemispheres. This single-sided secondary neurite that projects in parallel to the midline is a unique feature of this neuron. The emerging symmetric projections ramify in the anterior area of the medial and lateral protocerebra. In the posterior slope one neurite projects from the ventrolateral esophagus to the inferior lateral protocerebrum (Busch et al., 2009).[ FlyBase:FBrf0207458 ] |
| Also Known As |
"ascending ventral unpaired median neuron 7" ; "OA-VUMa7" ; "octopamine - ventral unpaired median anterior neuron 7" |
| Comment |
The neurotransmitter was assessed by immunostaining with an anti-octopamine (OA) antibody in cells labelled with tdc2-GAL4 (FBti0101786) and NP7088-GAL4 (FBti0037217) (Busch et al., 2009). |
