MBON23 [FBbt_00049113]

Adult mushroom body output neuron that has its dendrites in slice 2 of the alpha lobe, predominantly in the surface and posterior layers (Takemura et al., 2017). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Li et al., 2020; Truman et al., 2023) and it is a DL1 (CP2) secondary neuron (Truman et al., 2023).
