adult transverse antennal lobe tract

ID: FBbt_00007482

Smaller tract that shares a common root (dorsomedial root) with the medial antennal lobe tract (mALT) and mediolateral antennal lobe tract (mlALT) and connects the antennal lobe to the mushroom body calyx, lateral horn or posterior lateral protocerebrum. Fibers can run above, through or below the mushroom body pedunculus, running posterior to the fan-shaped body. The tract contains around 60 fibers. (Tanaka et al., 2012, Tanaka et al., 2008, Tanaka et al., 2012)

Some of the projection neurons that fasciculate with the tALT send collateral branches to the ring neuropil via the superior section of the posterior lateral fascicle (PLF) (Tanaka et al., 2012.
