VA2_adPN [FBbt_00067352]

Adult uniglomerular antennal lobe projection neuron from the ad neuroblast lineage with dendrites that mainly innervate antennal lobe glomerulus VA2. It is born from the 14th division of neuroblast ALad1 during embryogenesis (Yu et al., 2010). There is one of these per hemisphere, it fasciculates with the medial antennal lobe tract and it is cholinergic (Bates et al., 2020).

Adult Cholinergic Olfactory system lineage ALad1 BAmv3 primary neuron

For image, see FBrf0211729. Bates et al. (2020) supplement lists this as an AL-mlPN1, but this is probably a mistake as it is inconsistent with lineage information.
