octopaminergic VUMd2 neuron [FBbt_00110162]

Octopaminergic neuron of the VUMd cluster that exhibits a fan-shaped projection in the brain. Secondary neurites that originate in area surrounding the ventral esophagus foramen project to the lateral inferior posterior slope where they turn ventrally and fasciculate with the cervical connective. Projections to the posterior subesophageal ganglion and the inferior posterior slope form varicose terminals (Busch et al., 2009). The neurotransmitter was assessed by immunostaining with an anti-octopamine (OA) antibody in cells labelled with tdc2-GAL4 [FBti0101786] and NP7088-GAL4 [FBti0037217] (Busch et al., 2009). The varicose terminals in the posterior slope may indicate presynaptic terminals, but we have omitted recording this formally in the absence of molecular evidence.
