General Information
Term octopaminergic VPM5 neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00110153 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Octopaminergic neuron of the VM cluster, whose cell body is located posterior to that of OA-VPM3, and slightly lateral, in the labial segment of the adult brain. It bifurcates ventrally to the esophagus to innervate both the ipsi- and, sparsely, contralateral antennal lobe. A single neurite from the contralateral branch joins the inner antennocerebral tract to innervate the calyx of the mushroom body and the lateral horn (Busch et al., 2009, Busch and Tanimoto, 2010). There is one neuron of this type in each hemisphere.[ FlyBase:FBrf0207458 FlyBase:FBrf0210649 FlyBase:FBrf0220407 FlyBase:FBrf0227179 ]
Also Known As "OA-VPM5" ; "ventral paired median octopaminergic neuron 5"
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) or only using the tdc2-GAL4 (FBti0101786) (Busch and Tanimoto, 2010).
