superior medial protocerebrum
ID: FBbt_00007055
Medial synaptic neuropil domain of the adult superior neuropils that lies above the area flanked by the mushroom lobes, pedunculus, and calyx. It is separated from the pedunculus by the superior clamp and insulated from the medial lobe by the crepine. The fan-shaped body protrudes deeply into this neuropil, separating it into anterior (ASMP) and posterior (PSMP) regions. (Pereanu et al., 2010, Ito et al., 2014, Chiang et al., 2011)
Different regions of the SMP correspond to the subdivisions of the smpr and impr (Otsuna and Ito, 2006). The anterior and posterior regions of the superior SMP match part of smpr; the anterior and posterior regions of the inferior SMP match part of impr. The SMP also corresponds to the superior dorsofrontal protocerebrum (SDFP) and to the medial part of the inner dorsolateral protocerebrum (IDLP) of Chiang et al. (2011) (Ito et al., 2014).
