adult dopaminergic mesothoracic neuron a [FBbt_00048467]
Bilaterally paired dopaminergic neuron with its cell body in a relatively anterior position, close to the midline of the adult mesothoracic neuromere. There is one of these cells per hemisphere. Its posterior projection loops upwards and meets a centrally located dendritic projection from the dopaminergic mesothoracic VUM neuron. It is activated by flight and is required for normal coordination of the wings during flight (Sadaf et al., 2015).
