General Information
Term dFB neuron of the dopaminergic PPL1 cluster ID (Ontology) FBbt:00110322 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult neuron of the dopaminergic PPL1 cluster, whose main projection terminates in the dorsal fan-shaped body with a large-field arborization pattern consisting of mainly presynaptic terminals (Liu et al., 2012; Hulse et al., 2021). It receives input in the superior protocerebrum (Hulse et al., 2021). There are three of these cells per hemisphere, each arborizing in a different layer (Hulse et al., 2021). These cells promote wakefulness (Liu et al., 2012).[ FlyBase:FBrf0220041 FlyBase:FBrf0254510 ]
Also Known As "PPL1-dFB"
Comment Ren et al. (2016) - FBrf0233706 report that two of these arise from CP2 (DM1), but do not say which layers they innervate.
