General Information
Term larval dopaminergic DM2 neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00110333 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Larval dopaminergic DM neuron found posterior to the DM1 cluster, behind the protocerebral bridge (Blanco et al., 2011; Hartenstein et al., 2017). It belongs to the primary DPMpm1/2 paired lineage (Hartenstein et al., 2017). It projects into the ipsilateral anterior protocerebrum (Blanco et al., 2011). Some of these neurons are not yet mature upon hatching, so the number of dopaminergic cells in this cluster increases from around 0-4 per hemisphere in the first instar, reaching around 9 at later larval stages (Hartenstein et al., 2017). It persists into the adult stage to become a dopaminergic PPM2 neuron (Hartenstein et al., 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0216686 FlyBase:FBrf0234128 ]
Also Known As "DM2 neuron"
Comment Dopaminergic cells were identified by labeling with a tyrosine hydroxylase (anti-TH) antibody (Blanco et al., 2011). Selcho et al. (2009) found one exemplar of this cell type, which was found only once and stained weakly. They report this cell projected to both medial appendices, crossed the midline ventral to the medial lobe an arborized in the ipsilateral dorsomedial protocerebrum.
