General Information

| Term |
antennal lobe VUMa5 neuron |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00047938 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Ventral unpaired medial neuron of the adult with a cell body in the ventralmost rind of the middle area of the gnathal ganglion. The cell body fiber runs dorsally and bifurcates just below the esophagus. One fiber turns anteriorly toward the antennal lobe (AL), whereas the other crosses the midline, then mirrors the pathway of the ipsilateral fiber. It arborizes in the dorsal area of the inferior posterior slope at the level of the great commissure. It then runs anteriorly and enters the AL via the broad root. In the AL, it arborizes in all the glomeruli in a nonglomerular manner.[ FlyBase:FBrf0219809 ] |
| Also Known As |
"AL-VUMa5" |
| Comment |
Tanaka et al. (2012) state that this has similar morphology to the octopaminergic VUMa5 neuron identified by Busch et al. (2009), but octopamine synthesis was not tested to confirm this. |
