Cholinergic neuron whose cell body is located in the dorsal-most area of the subesophageal ganglion, ventromedial to the antennal lobe of the adult brain (Tanaka et al., 2008; Aso et al., 2020). The cell body fiber ascends through the median bundle to the level of the gamma lobe before making a steep lateral turn and forming extensive axonal terminals in the crepine, superior medial protocerebrum and a few terminals in the superior intermediate protocerebrum (Tanaka et al., 2008; Aso et al., 2014. The main fiber further extends towards the vertical lobe and forms extensive dendrites in all strata of the alpha' lobe slice 2 (Tanaka et al., 2008. There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Li et al., 2020. It is a secondary FLAa2 (BAmas1) neuron (Truman et al., 2023. It plays an important role in retrieval of alcohol-associated memory (Scaplen et al., 2020. (Scaplen et al., 2020, Aso et al., 2014, Truman et al., 2023, Li et al., 2020, Tanaka et al., 2008)

Tanaka et al., 2008 comment that there is a small possibility of interconnectedness between MB-V3 and MB-V4 because thin fibers are occasionally found connecting the two neuronal projections. Truman et al., 2023 claim two per hemisphere.
