octopaminergic VUMd neuron octopaminergic VUMd3 neuron 2012-10-08T04:42:58Z VFB:FBbt_00110163 OA-VUMd3 DNge150 Octopaminergic neuron of the VUMd cluster that exhibits a fan-shaped projection in the brain. Secondary neurites that originate in area surrounding the ventral esophagus foramen fasciculate with the cervical connective. Apart from forming spiny arborizations in the posterior slope, this neuron does not innervate other areas in the brain (Busch et al., 2009). OA-VUMd3 fly_anatomy.ontology FBbt:00110163 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).
