MBON17 [FBbt_00111064]

Subtype of the mushroom body ventral lobe arborizing neuron 2 alpha’. It arborizes in the alpha’ slice 3 middle domain and its axon projects to the lateral horn. There are two of these neurons per hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Truman et al., 2023, forming two connectivity patterns (Li et al., 2020. They are DL1 (CP2) secondary neurons (Truman et al., 2023. (Aso et al., 2014, Séjourné et al., 2011, Truman et al., 2023, Li et al., 2020)

Adult Cholinergic lineage DL1 CP2 secondary neuron

Subtype of the mushroom body ventral lobe arborizing neuron 2 alpha'. It arborizes in the alpha' slice 3 middle domain and its axon projects to the lateral horn. There are two of these neurons per hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Truman et al., 2023, forming two connectivity patterns (Li et al., 2020. They are DL1 (CP2) secondary neurons (Truman et al., 2023. (Aso et al., 2014, Séjourné et al., 2011, Truman et al., 2023, Li et al., 2020)

Two of these cells were identified by Aso et al., 2014. These were identified as having two connectivity patterns by Li et al., 2020, with one subtype being referred to as "MBON17-like", but still classed as an MBON17 (Li et al., 2020.
