ID: FBbt_00100379

Adult unilateral, uniglomerular antennal lobe projection neuron from the ad neuroblast (ALad1) lineage with dendrites that mainly innervate antennal lobe glomerulus VM6 (Bates et al., 2020). It receives primarily olfactory input (Marin et al., 2020). It is born from the seventh division of neuroblast ALad1 during embryogenesis (Yu et al., 2010). There is one of these cells per hemisphere, it is cholinergic and it fasciculates with the medial antennal lobe tract to project to the mushroom body calyx and lateral horn (Bates et al., 2020; Marin et al., 2020).

For image, see FBrf0211729. VC5 glomerulus in Bates et al. (2020) and Marin et al. (2020) and VM6+VP1 in Yu et al. (2010) correspond to what is now known as VM6 (Schlegel et al., 2021 - FBrf0249560). Yu et al. (2010) classify this neuron as uniglomerular. Also classified as uniglomerular by Bates et al. (2020), who clarify that it mainly innervates VM6 (which they call VC5), with some additional branches in other glomeruli (uni+ class).
