OA-VUMa1

ID: FBbt_00110156

Octopaminergic neuron of the VUMa cluster with symmetric and complex processes throughout the ventromedial protocerebra, including the posterior margin of the antennal lobes and the ventral margins of the mushroom body pedunculi. Another neurite originating from the region ventrolateral to the esophagus foramen innervates the inferior posterior slope, forming varicose terminals (Busch et al., 2009).

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).
