General Information
Term	octopaminergic ASM3 neuron	ID (Ontology)	FBbt:00110170 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition	Octopaminergic neuron of the ASM cluster which arborizes extensively around the peduncle of the mushroom body of the adult brain. The main neurite bifurcates dorsolaterally to the fan-shaped body. One process runs laterally, arborizing in the superior protocerebrum; the other process crosses the midline dorsal to the fan-shaped body. These processes give rise to complicated ramifications in the posterior protocerebrum (around the mushroom body pedunculus), ventrolateral protocerebrum and in the subesophageal zone (Busch et al., 2009).[ FlyBase:FBrf0207458 ]
Also Known As	"OA-ASM3"
Comment	The neurotransmitter was assessed by immunostaining with an anti-octopamine (OA) antibody in cells labelled with tdc2-GAL4 (FBti0101786) (Busch et al., 2009).
