AMMC-A1 [FBbt_00110183]

Projection neuron whose cell body is located dorsally and posterior to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (PLP). The primary neurite projects anteriorly towards the great commissure, where it forms several branches which form postsynaptic terminals in the ipsilateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center (AMMC) zones A and B, the wedge, the anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (AVLP), the glomerulus of the posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum where LC4 neurons arborize (PVLP) region as well as the nonglomerular region. It crosses the midline forming a very thick commissure which runs along the great commissure (superior AMMC commissure) to form presynaptic terminals in the contralateral gorget and nonglomerular region of the PVLP. It is electrically synapsed to the giant fiber neuron. (Murthy, 2010, Clemens et al., 2015, Kamikouchi et al., 2009, Matsuo et al., 2016, Allen et al., 2007, Phelan et al., 1996)
