General Information
Term larval dopaminergic pPAM neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00111633 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in the anteriomedial region of the larval brain (Rohwedder et al., 2016). The primary neurite extends posteriorly to an area medial to the base of the vertical lobe of the mushroom body (Rohwedder et al., 2016). It then branches: one branch extends dorsally to form postsynaptic terminals in the dorsal protocerebrum, medial to the vertical lobe of the mushroom body; the other branch runs basomedially to form, mostly presynaptic terminals, in a specific domain of the medial lobe of the mushroom body (Rohwedder et al., 2016). A single projection crosses the midline to innervate the same domain in the contralateral medial lobe of the mushroom body (Rohwedder et al., 2016). There are 4 neurons in this cluster, belonging to different subtypes (Rohwedder et al., 2016; Truman et al., 2023). These neurons develop from a DALcm neuroblast and die early during the pupal stage (Saumweber et al., 2018; Truman et al., 2023).[ FlyBase:FBrf0231223 FlyBase:FBrf0255928 ]
Also Known As "larval DAN of pPAM cluster" ; "larval PAM neuron" ; "primary-lineage protocerebral anterior medial cluster neuron"
Comment Dopaminergic cells were identified by double labeling with a tyrosine hydroxylase (anti-TH) antibody and a TH-GAL4 driver (Rohwedder et al., 2016). Lineage either DALcm1 or DALcm2 (Saumweber et al., 2018).
