outer layer of the larval mushroom body [FBbt_00110201]

outer layer of the larval mushroom body

ID: FBbt_00110201

Outer layer of the third instar larval mushroom body, encompassing the pedunculus and lobes. It is surrounded by the surface layer. Part of the larval-born gamma type Kenyon cells are contained in this layer.

This layer was identified by staining with a FasII antibody. The outer layer is FasII-positive, and displays the strongest labelling. At the second larval instar, the outer and inner layers are part of the same middle layer (Pauls et al., 2010; Kurusu et al., 2002).
