VL1_ilPN

ID: FBbt_00049772

Adult uniglomerular antennal lobe projection neuron with its soma in the lateral subesophageal zone and dendrites that mainly innervate antennal lobe glomerulus VL1 (Tanaka et al., 2012; Bates et al., 2020). It bifurcates below the esophagus and has roughly symmetrical innervation in both hemispheres (Tanaka et al., 2012). It follows the mALT, sending branches to the central part of the mushroom body calyx and the posterior ventral lateral horn (Tanaka et a., 2012; Bates et al., 2020). There is one of these per hemisphere and it is cholinergic (Bates et al., 2020).

Corresponds to AL-mPN2 from Tanaka et al. (2012) (Bates et al., 2020).
