ID: FBbt_00110143

Octopaminergic neuron of the AL2 cluster that has tangential arborization in the ipsilateral medulla layers M1-M2 as well as processes extending into the outer optic chiasm (Busch et al., 2009; Kind et al., 2021). It also arborizes in the superior and inferior posterior slope, posterior lateral protocerebrum and flange (Busch et al., 2009; Kind et al., 2021).

The neurotransmitter was assessed by immunostaining with an anti-octopamine (OA) antibody in cells labelled with tdc2-GAL4 (FBti0101786) and NP7088-GAL4 (FBti0037217). Busch et al. (2009) seem to consider this to project to the optic lobe (arbor morphology), whereas Kind et al. (2021) seem to consider it to project from the optic lobe (EM - 1 cell).
