PPL2c [FBbt_00100221]

A dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in a cluster of approximately 2 cell bodies in the cortex of the posterior lateral protocerebrum of the adult brain (Mao and Davis, 2009).

ID: FBbt_00100221

Adult Dopaminergic Nervous system primary neuron

A dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in a cluster of approximately 2 cell bodies in the cortex of the posterior lateral protocerebrum of the adult brain (Mao and Davis, 2009).

Mao and Davis (2009) identify 8 protocerebral clusters coincidentally positive for TH-GAL4 activity and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity, implying these cells are dopaminergic. Hartenstein et al. (2017) - FBrf0234128 call PPL2ab "PPL2a" and "PPL2p", and call PPL2c "PPL2b" and "PPL2d".
