General Information
Term dopaminergic PPL2c neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00100221 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition A dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in a cluster of approximately 2 cell bodies in the cortex of the posterior lateral protocerebrum of the adult brain (Mao and Davis, 2009).[ FlyBase:FBrf0208427 FlyBase:FBrf0216686 ]
Also Known As "adult dopaminergic PPL2d neuron" ; "PPL2c" ; "PPL2c cluster neuron" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
Comment Mao and Davis (2009) identify 8 protocerebral clusters coincidentally positive for TH-GAL4 activity and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity, implying these cells are dopaminergic. Hartenstein et al. (2017) - FBrf0234128 call PPL2ab "PPL2a" and "PPL2p", and call PPL2c "PPL2b" and "PPL2d".
