The primary neurite extends posteriorly to an area medial to the base of the vertical lobe of the mushroom body (Rohwedder et al., 2016). It then branches: one branch extends dorsally to form postsynaptic terminals in the dorsal protocerebrum, medial to the vertical lobe of the mushroom body; the other branch runs basomedially to form, mostly presynaptic terminals, in a specific domain of the medial lobe of the mushroom body (Rohwedder et al., 2016). A single projection crosses the midline to innervate the same domain in the contralateral medial lobe of the mushroom body (Rohwedder et al., 2016). There are 4 neurons in this cluster, belonging to different subtypes (Rohwedder et al., 2016; Truman et al., 2023). These neurons develop from a DALcm neuroblast and die early during the pupal stage (Saumweber et al., 2018; Truman et al., 2023). Dopaminergic cells were identified by double labeling with a tyrosine hydroxylase (anti-TH) antibody and a TH-GAL4 driver (Rohwedder et al., 2016).
