General Information
Term mushroom body output neuron 6 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00100242 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition A glutamatergic neuron whose cell body is located in front of the ventral complex, ventral to the junction of the lobes in each adult brain hemisphere. The cell body fiber runs dorsomedially to the opposite hemisphere and bifurcates behind the tip of the beta' lobe (Tanaka et al., 2008). Its dendrites enter the posterior layer of the beta lobe arborizing in all three layers of slice 1 (Tanaka et al., 2008; Aso et al., 2014). Its axon terminals are found in all three slices of the alpha lobe, in slice 3, they are concentrated in the posterior and surface layers (Aso et al., 2014). In the alpha lobe, it makes feedforward connections to MBON07 and MBON14 (Li et al., 2020). It also projects to the superior medial, intermediate and lateral protocerebrum (Tanaka et al., 2008). There is one neuron of this type in each hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Li et al., 2020). It is involved in the retrieval of reward memory (Ichinose et al., 2021).[ FlyBase:FBrf0205263 FlyBase:FBrf0227179 FlyBase:FBrf0248215 FlyBase:FBrf0248476 ]
