DC3_adPN [FBbt_00040000]

Adult uniglomerular antennal lobe projection neuron from the ad neuroblast (ALad1) lineage whose dendrites mainly innervate antennal lobe glomerulus DC3. This is the sixth cell type to be generated post-embryonically by neuroblast ALad1 (Yu et al., 2010). The axons of these neurons innervate a small area at the anterior edge of the lateral horn, in a similar region to VL2a and VA1lm PNs. There are around three of these per hemisphere, they fasciculate with the medial antennal lobe tract and they are cholinergic (Bates et al., 2020).
