General Information
Term antennal mechanosensory and motor center AMMC-VLP2 projection neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00111356 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Projection neuron whose cell body is located lateral to the gnathal ganglion (Clemens et al., 2015). It innervates the ipsilateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center (AMMC), anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (AVLP), wedge (inferior VLP) and gnathal ganglion (GNG) (Clemens et al., 2015; Baker et al., 2022). A few neurites of some of these cell may cross the midline in the GNG (Clemens et al., 2015). It responds to both male sine and pulse song (Baker et al., 2022). It is cholinergic (Baker et al., 2022).[ FlyBase:FBrf0229690 FlyBase:FBrf0254226 ]
Also Known As"AMMC-VLP2" ; "AMMC-VLP2 neuron" ; "AV2 neuron" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
CommentNeurotransmitter predicted from EM data (Baker et al., 2022).
