sends synaptic output to region superior posterior slope octopaminergic VUMa neuron octopaminergic VUMa3 neuron 2012-10-08T04:42:58Z OA-VUMa3 Octopaminergic neuron of the VUMa cluster with symmetric secondary neurites projecting dorsally, bypassing the anterior margin of the ellipsoid body. In the anterior superior medial protocerebrum, these neurites turn laterally and posteriorly. They ramify densely in the superior posterior slope and posterior protocerebrum surrounding the mushroom body pedunculi. One branch also innervates the middle lateral protocerebrum (Busch et al., 2009). 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).
