OA-VUMa6 [FBbt_00047935]

Octopaminergic neuron of the VUMa cluster. Its axons emerge from ramifications surrounding the esophagus foramen in the posterior slope. It sends a pair of two major branches in each hemisphere laterally from the dorsal esophagus foramen. They ramify in the inferior and superior protocerebra (Busch et al., 2009).
