Unilateral, uniglomerular antennal lobe (AL) projection neuron whose dendrites mainly innervate glomerulus DA4m (Tanaka et al., 2012). It develops from the ALad1 neuroblast (Bates et al., 2020) and has its soma in the ventral part of the cell body rind around the AL (Tanaka et al., 2012). It bifurcates in the AL hub, with one branch forming glomerular arborizations in DA4m, with some additional neurites around the glomerulus, and one branch joining the medial antennal lobe tract (Tanaka et al., 2012). Collateral branches innervate the central area of the mushroom body calyx and the ventral area of the lateral horn (Tanaka et al., 2012). One of the lateral horn branches turns ventrally and projects via the lateral section of the posterior lateral fascicle to reach the anterior posterior lateral protocerebrum (Tanaka et al., 2012). There is one of these per hemisphere and it is cholinergic (Bates et al., 2020).

This was the only example of a medial antennal lobe projection neuron 3 found by Tanaka et al. (2012).
