General Information
Term superior clamp ID (Ontology) FBbt:00040048 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Superior (dorsal) part of the clamp, above the dorsal surface of the mushroom body pedunculus and in front of the mushroom body calyx. It is located above the superior ellipsoid commissure (SEC) and superior arch commissure (SAC).[ FlyBase:FBrf0193607 FlyBase:FBrf0212704 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 ]
Also Known As"SCL" ; "SPP"
CommentDifferent regions of the SCL correspond to the subdivisions of the ilpr and impr (Otsuna and Ito, 2006). The anterior and posterior regions of the lateral SCL match part of ilpr; the anterior and posterior regions of the medial SCL match part of impr. The SCL also corresponds to the medial part of the superpeduncular protocerebrum (SPP) of Chiang et al. (2011), and to the medial and lateral inferior protocerebrum (Ito et al., 2014).
