embryonic/larval anterior superior medial protocerebrum

ID: FBbt_00007065

A synaptic neuropil subdomain of the larval brain that is located anterior and dorsal to the medial lobe of the mushroom body, and which is separated from the posterior superior medial protocerebrum by a neuropil glial sheath slightly posterior to the vertical lobe of the mushroom body. It is the larval counterpart of the adult anterior superior medial protocerebrum. (Younossi-Hartenstein et al., 2003, Pereanu et al., 2010)

Developmental relation to adult synaptic neuropil domains comes from a personal communication from Volker Hartenstein. Note - description of relative location of brain structures in this definition is based on Younossi-Hartenstein et al., 2003 description of the first instar larval brain and Pereanu et al., 2010 third instar larval brain.
