There is one neuron of this type in each hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Li et al., 2020; Truman et al., 2023) and it is a DL1 (CP2) secondary neuron (Truman et al., 2023). It outputs onto the lateral horn output neurons PD2a1 and PD2b1 (Dolan et al., 2018). It is involved in food odor attraction (Sayin et al., 2019), as well as short and medium term aversive memory (Bouzaiane et al., 2015).
