has synaptic IO in region ventrolateral protocerebrum anterior superior medial protocerebrum octopaminergic ASM neuron octopaminergic ASM3 neuron 2012-10-08T04:42:58Z Octopaminergic neuron of the ASM cluster which arborizes extensively around the peduncle of the mushroom body of the adult brain. The main neurite bifurcates dorsolaterally to the fan-shaped body. One process runs laterally, arborizing in the superior protocerebrum; the other process crosses the midline dorsal to the fan-shaped body. These processes give rise to complicated ramifications in the posterior protocerebrum (around the mushroom body pedunculus), ventrolateral protocerebrum and in the subesophageal zone (Busch et al., 2009). fly_anatomy.ontology anterior superior medial octopaminergic neuron VFB:FBbt_00110170 FBbt:00110170 OA-ASM3 OA-ASM3 The neurotransmitter was assessed by immunostaining with an anti-octopamine (OA) antibody in cells labelled with tdc2-GAL4 (FBti0101786) (Busch et al., 2009). adult subesophageal zone
