(2018) found this neuron in the L3 larva, but were not able to identify it in the L1. Dopaminergic neuron of the pPAM cluster, whose cell body is located in the anteriomedial region of the larval brain. The primary neurite extends posteriorly to the base of the vertical lobe of the mushroom body. It then branches: one branch extends dorsally to form postsynaptic terminals in the dorsal protocerebrum, in an area medial and lateral to the vertical lobe of the mushroom body; the other branch runs basomedially to form presynaptic terminals in the most lateral domain of the medial lobe of the mushroom body (M2/shaft), and lateral to the innervation of the other pPAM neurons. A single projection crosses the midline to innervate the same domain in the contralateral medial lobe of the mushroom body. FBbt:00111634 larval DAN-h1
