OA-VUMa8 [FBbt_00047937]

Octopaminergic neuron of the VUMa cluster. Its axons emerge from ramifications surrounding the esophagus foramen in the posterior slope. It exhibits a pair of mirror-symmetric neurites projecting from the area around the ventral esophagus to the anterior. It further branches in the ventromedial protocerebrum, profuse arbors cover the ventrolateral and superior medial protocerebra (Busch et al., 2009).
