PAM11

ID: FBbt_00111022

A dopaminergic neuron of the PAM cluster that projects to the alpha lobe slice 1 (Aso et al., 2014). Dendritic arborizations are found in the superior medial, intermediate and lateral protocerebrum (Aso et al., 2014). It receives input from MBON-07 in the superior intermediate protocerebrum and the superior lateral protocerebrum and outputs onto this neuron in the mushroom body alpha lobe slice 1 (Ichinose et al., 2015). There are around 7 of these cells per hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Li et al., 2020). It is involved in the formation of long term reward memory (Yamagata et al., 2015).

Stated to correspond to MB-VP1 from Tanaka et al. (2008) in Aso et al. (2014), but PAM11 has presynapses in alpha1 and not the pedunculus (Aso et al., 2014; Li et al., 2020). Three morphological clusters of individuals found in Li et al. (2020), but not clear if these are conserved between organisms.
