General Information
Term octopaminergic VUMa8 neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047937 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Octopaminergic neuron of the VUMa cluster. Its axons emerge from ramifications surrounding the esophagus foramen in the posterior slope. It exhibits a pair of mirror-symmetric neurites projecting from the area around the ventral esophagus to the anterior. It further branches in the ventromedial protocerebrum, profuse arbors cover the ventrolateral and superior medial protocerebra (Busch et al., 2009).[ FlyBase:FBrf0207458 ]
Also Known As "ascending ventral unpaired median neuron 8" ; "OA-VUMa8" ; "octopamine - ventral unpaired median anterior neuron 8"
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).
