Adult Cholinergic lineage DL1 CP2 secondary neuron

A mushroom body ventral lobe arborizing neuron 2 that innervates across the shaft of the alpha lobe (slice 2) in the surface and core layers of the ipsilateral mushroom body and projects bilaterally to the superior intermediate protocerebrum, superior lateral protocerebrum and dorsal lateral horn. There is one neuron of this type in each hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Li et al., 2020; Truman et al., 2023 and it is a DL1 (CP2) secondary neuron (Truman et al., 2023. It outputs onto the lateral horn output neurons PD2a1 and PD2b1 (Dolan et al., 2018. It is involved in food odor attraction (Sayin et al., 2019, as well as short and medium term aversive memory (Bouzaiane et al., 2015. (Aso et al., 2014, Bouzaiane et al., 2015, Truman et al., 2023, Sayin et al., 2019, Dolan et al., 2018, Séjourné et al., 2011, Li et al., 2020)
