It belongs to the ventrolateral protocerebrum (VL) cluster of octopaminergic neurons (Busch et al., 2009). In the brain, it has neurites in the anterior and posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, wedge, vest and gnathal ganglion, spanning both hemispheres (Busch et al., 2009; Namiki et al., 2018). It descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective, then fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of the ventral cervical fascicle (Namiki et al., 2018). It innervates the intermediate and lower tectulum, abdominal neuromere, T1, T2 and T3 leg neuropils, wing sensory neuropil, and T1, T2 and T3 medial ventral and ventral association centers, mainly ipsilaterally (Namiki et al., 2018). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Busch et al., 2009; Namiki et al., 2018). It is glutamatergic and tyraminergic (Cheong et al., 2024), as well as octopaminergic (Busch et al., 2009). octopaminergic VL1 neuron fly_anatomy.ontology descending neuron of the anterior brain DNd02 OA-VL1 VFB:FBbt_00047591 FBbt:00047591 DNd02 ventrolateral protocerebrum octopaminergic neuron 1 DNxl004 adult octopaminergic and glutamatergic neuron adult tyraminergic neuron octopaminergic VL neuron adult abdominal neuromere
