VP2++_lvPN

ID: FBbt_00049756

Adult multiglomerular antennal lobe projection neuron from the ALlv1 neuroblast lineage with dendrites that mainly innervate antennal lobe glomerulus VP2 (Bates et al., 2020; Marin et al., 2020). It receives mainly olfactory input (Marin et al., 2020). It fasciculates with the medial antennal lobe tract, then curves ventrally to innervate the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Marin et al., 2020). There is one of these per hemisphere and it is cholinergic (Bates et al., 2020; Marin et al., 2020).

Bates et al. (2020) class this as panglomerular, but does not look it in Marin et al. (2020). Bates et al. (2020) also group this in the same morphological class as another 'panglomerular' PN mainly innervating DA2. One of two M_lvPNm47 cells mapped to VP2++ lvPN in Marin et al. (2020) supplement and neuprint notes.
