epaulette
ID: FBbt_00040040
A small, bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain of the ventral complex, lying below the inferior clamp and superior-lateral to the vest.
The name is taken from the ornamental shoulder piece of military generals based on its shape and position relative to other sartorially named domains of the ventral complex. The epaulette corresponds to part of the inferior region of the vmpr of Otsuna and Ito, 2006 and the part of the precommissural ventromedial cerebrum (Ito et al., 2014.
