larval prothoracic VPM neuron [FBbt_00047560]
Octopaminergic, bilaterally-paired neuron of the prothoracic neuromere of the larval ventral nerve cord. There is one of these neurons per hemisphere. They form a cluster with the VUM neuron cell bodies, but unlike the VUM neurons, the VPM neurons are restricted to the CNS (Selcho et al., 2012).

Larva Nervous system Octopaminergic Tyraminergic
Octopaminergic, bilaterally-paired neuron of the prothoracic neuromere of the larval ventral nerve cord. There is one of these neurons per hemisphere. They form a cluster with the VUM neuron cell bodies, but unlike the VUM neurons, the VPM neurons are restricted to the CNS (Selcho et al., 2012).
Selcho et al., 2012 did not see an individual prothoracic VPM neuron in any of their flp-out larvae, so were unable to analyze one in detail.
