It belongs to the ventrolateral protocerebrum (VL) cluster of octopaminergic neurons (Busch et al., 2009). In the brain, it has neurites in the flange, saddle, posterior lateral protocerebrum, 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 and fasciculates with the dorsal lateral tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle (Namiki et al., 2018). In the VNC, it innervates the neck, wing and haltere neuropils, intermediate and lower tectulum, T1, T2 and T3 leg neuropils, T1, T2 and T3 ventral association centers and wing sensory neuropil, mainly ipsilaterally (Namiki et al., 2018). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Busch et al., 2009; Namiki et al., 2018).
