General Information
Term MB-alpha' neuron of the dopaminergic PPL1 cluster ID (Ontology) FBbt:00110321 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition PPL1 neuron whose main axon innervates the tip of the mushroom body alpha' lobe (segment 3) (Mao and Davis, 2009; Aso et al., 2014; Li et al., 2020). A fiber also crosses the midline to innervate the contralateral alpha' lobe tip (Mao and Davis, 2009; Li et al., 2020). Most of its dendritic arborizations are found in the superior intermediate and lateral protocerebrum, with a smaller amount in the superior medial protocerebrum and lateral horn (Aso et al., 2014). There is one neuron of this type in each hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Li et al., 2020) and it develops from the CP3 (DL2) neuroblast during larval development (Ren et al., 2016).[ FlyBase:FBrf0208427 FlyBase:FBrf0227179 FlyBase:FBrf0233706 FlyBase:FBrf0248215 ]
Also Known As "PPL1-04" ; "PPL1-alpha'3" ; "PPL104"
