AMMC-B1a [FBbt_00110121]

Projection neuron whose cell body is located dorsally to the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (AMMC) and innervates the AMMC zone B and both the ipsilateral and the contralateral inferior ventrolateral protocerebrum (IVLP) regions. These neurons receive input in the AMMC zone B and establish presynaptic connections in the lateral region of the IVLP. These neurons are activated by an acoustic stimuli and are narrowly tuned to respond to 100 Hz stimuli (Lai et al., 2012).

Adult Auditory system Neuron lineage ALl1 BAlc

Projection neuron whose cell body is located dorsally to the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (AMMC) and innervates the AMMC zone B and both the ipsilateral and the contralateral inferior ventrolateral protocerebrum (IVLP) regions. These neurons receive input in the AMMC zone B and establish presynaptic connections in the lateral region of the IVLP. These neurons are activated by an acoustic stimuli and are narrowly tuned to respond to 100 Hz stimuli (Lai et al., 2012).

Auditory function was determined measuring GCaMP activation in these cells in response to an acoustic stimuli. Subsets of AMMC-B1a neurons were labeled with the drivers: E0564-GAL4, E0583-GAL4, VT27938-GAL4 and VT19992-GAL4. Single cell imaging with the first two drivers showed that the AMMC-B1a neurons are isomorphic. Presence of pre- and postsynaptic sites was determined by immunoreactivity to Dscam- and synaptotagmin-GFP localization, respectively.
