It bifurcates ventrally to the esophagus to innervate both the ipsi- and, sparsely, contralateral antennal lobe. A single neurite from the contralateral branch joins the inner antennocerebral tract to innervate the calyx of the mushroom body and the lateral horn (Busch et al., 2009, Busch and Tanimoto, 2010). There is one neuron of this type in each hemisphere. FBbt:00110153 ventral paired median octopaminergic neuron 5 The neurotransmitter was assessed by immunostaining with an anti-octopamine (OA) antibody in cells labelled with tdc2-GAL4 (FBti0101786) and NP7088-GAL4 (FBti0037217) (Busch et al., 2009) or only using the tdc2-GAL4 (FBti0101786) (Busch and Tanimoto, 2010).
