PPM2 [FBbt_00100217]

A dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in a cluster of approximately 8 cell bodies in the cortex of the posterior inferior medial protocerebrum of the adult brain (Mao and Davis, 2009). Different subtypes develop from the DM2, DM3 and DM4 neuroblasts (Ren et al., 2016).

Adult Dopaminergic Nervous system

A dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in a cluster of approximately 8 cell bodies in the cortex of the posterior inferior medial protocerebrum of the adult brain (Mao and Davis, 2009). Different subtypes develop from the DM2, DM3 and DM4 neuroblasts (Ren et al., 2016).

Mao and Davis (2009) identify 8 protocerebral clusters coincidentally positive for TH-GAL4 activity and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity, implying these cells are dopaminergic. The cluster of PPM2 neurons was judged by a curator to correspond to the DM cell cluster in Budnik and White (1988). Hartenstein et al. (2017) - FBrf0234128 show that the larval DM2 cluster (primary DPMpm1/2 lineages) becomes the adult PPM2 cluster, but unclear whether any adult cells do not derive from functional larval primary neurons.
