PAM

ID: FBbt_00100214

A dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in a cluster of approximately 100 cell bodies in the cortex of the anterior inferior medial protocerebrum of the adult brain (Mao and Davis, 2009). There are multiple subtypes, of which most (but not all) target the medial lobe (Li et al., 2020). They all follow a mushroom body commissure to the contralateral mushroom body (Li et al., 2020). They are secondary neurons, with some belonging to the CREa1A (BAMd1A) hemilineage and some belonging to the CREa2A (DALcm1A) hemilineage (Lee et al., 2020; Truman et al., 2023).

The cluster of PAM neurons was judged by a curator to correspond to the AM cell cluster in Budnik and White (1988).
