neuroblast BLAv2

ID: FBbt_00100613

Neuroblast found in a relatively ventral location in the basolateral anterior (BLA) group, along the anterior edge of the optic lobe primordium, during the larval stage (Pereanu and Hartenstein, 2006; Hartenstein et al., 2015. Its primary lineage projects posteriorly, then medially, entering the ventrolateral protocerebrum (VLP) and some fibers continue medially to the great commissure (GC) (Hartenstein et al., 2015. It produces two secondary hemilineages, a posterior one that follows the tract of primary lineage through the VLP and GC and a medial one, that crosses the midline posterior to the central complex (Wong et al., 2013. During metamorphosis, the hemilineage clusters move apart and the posterior hemilineage gains an additional, dorsal, branch (Lovick et al., 2013. (Yu et al., 2013, Lovick et al., 2013, Ito et al., 2013, Hartenstein et al., 2015, Wong et al., 2013, Pereanu and Hartenstein, 2006)

The VLPl3 clone from Ito et al., 2013 is a subset of the VLPl2 clone (Schlegel et al., 2024 - FlyBase:FBrf0260535). Hemilineage classes not created for this NB as three groups were identified in Schlegel et al., 2024 and it is unclear how hemilineages should be grouped.
