adult antennal lobe [FBbt_00007401]

The adult antennal lobe is a bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain of the deutocerebrum lying in front of the protocerebral synaptic neuropil domains. It is divided into approximately 50 glomeruli and is clearly separated from adjacent neuropil domains by an extensive glial sheath. The two antennal lobes are connected by the antennal commissure and receive olfactory receptor neuron axons from the antennal nerve and subesophageal tract. It is also connected to the antennal lobe tracts and the broad root.

adult central complex [FBbt_00003632]

A midline crossing complex of the synaptic neuropil domains of the adult brain: the ellipsoid body, the fan-shaped body, the three paired noduli, the asymmetrical bodies and the protocerebral bridge. It is closely associated with another paired synaptic neuropil domain, the lateral complex. It lies in the middle of the brain between the pedunculi of the mushroom bodies and is bounded ventrally by the esophagus, dorsally by the pars intercerebralis and laterally by the antenno-glomerular tracts. Some authors’ use of the term ‘central body’ excludes the protocerebral bridge, some usage also excludes the noduli, some exclude the lateral triangles, and historically it has been used to refer to the fan-shaped body alone (Hanesch et al., 1989).

adult central sensory compartment of subesophageal zone [FBbt_00051418]

Adult sensory region of the subesophageal zone that develops from the narrow anterior (tritocerebral and gnathal) region of the larval central sensory compartment (Kendroud et al., 2018). It encompasses the antennal mechanosensory and motor center at its anterior end, containing the axon terminals of Johnston organ neurons entering via the antennal nerve (Kendroud et al., 2018). At its posterior end, it receives axonal projections of thoracic and abdominal sensory neurons, which enter the subesophageal zone via the cervical connective (Kendroud et al., 2018).

Bilaterally paired neuropil structure situated postero-dorsally in the protocerebrum that functions in olfactory associative learning and memory. The mushroom body is divided into: the calyx, which is closest to the cell body rind and receives sensory interneuron afferents; the pedunculus, which is a thick axon bundle extending from the calyx to the base of the lobes; and the mushroom body lobe system, which consists of a vertical branch composed of two intertwined lobes (alpha and alpha’) and a medial branch consisting of three parallel lobes (beta, beta’ and gamma) (Crittenden et al., 1998; Ito et al., 2014).

Tags:

adult mushroom body alpha'' lobe [FBbt_00100252]

A subregion of the alpha’ lobe occupied by the vertical lobe projecting branches of the neurons composing the mushroom body beta’’ lobe of the adult brain. Via Golgi impregnation and immunostaining, Strausfeld et al., (2003) identifies this highly taurine-immunopositive, aspartate-immunonegative band. However, Tanaka et al., (2008), using an enhancer trap screen, suggest that the neurons composing the alpha’’/beta’’ lobe should be regarded as a subpopulation of the alpha’/beta’ anterior neurons.

Tags:

adult mushroom body beta\'\' lobe [FBbt_00100251]

A narrow division lying between the gamma and beta’ lobes of the adult brain. Axons innervating the beta’’ lobe have axons innervating the alpha’ lobe front surface. Via Golgi impregnation and immunostaining, Strausfeld et al., (2003) identifies this highly taurine-immunopositive, aspartate-immunonegative band. However, Tanaka et al., (2008), using an enhancer trap screen, suggest that the neurons composing the alpha’’/beta’’ lobe should be regarded as a subpopulation of the alpha’/beta’ anterior neurons.

Tags:

adult mushroom body dorsal accessory calyx [FBbt_00045007]

A small subregion of the adult mushroom body that protrudes from the anterior-dorsal edge of the calyx into the superior lateral protocerebrum (SLP) (Ito et al., 2014). It contains the terminals of the alpha/beta posterior Kenyon cells (Tanaka et al., 2008; Ito et al., 2014; Aso et al., 2014) and it is not separated from the SLP by a glial sheath (Ito et al., 2014). It receives mainly visual input with little, if any, olfactory or gustatory input (Li et al., 2020). Previously named the accessory calyx, this was renamed to the dorsal accessory calyx to distinguish it from the ventral accessory calyx (Aso et al., 2014).

Tags:

adult mushroom body lateral accessory calyx [FBbt_00048332]

A small bar-shaped subregion of the adult mushroom body that protrudes from the anterior dorsolateral edge of the calyx, lateral to the dorsal accessory calyx (Jenett et al., 2012). It contains the postsynaptic terminals of a subpopulation of around 14 alpha’/beta’ Kenyon cells (Yagi et al., 2016; Li et al., 2020), some of which only receive input in this region (Marin et al., 2020). It also contains some of the postsynaptic terminals of the gamma-s2 Kenyon cell (Marin et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020). The vast majority of presynapses in this region are from the temperature-sensitive antennal lobe VP3 vPN and VP2 adPN projection neurons (Marin et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020).

Tags:

antennal lobe glomerulus VP1 [FBbt_00003927]

Ventro-posterior glomerulus of the adult antennal lobe. It is located dorsomedial to glomerulus VP3, dorsoposterior to glomerulus V. Discernible with Golgi impregnation or CoCl2 backfills (Stocker et al. 1990), but not with nc82/bruchtpilot immunolabelling, leading to it not being represented in antennal lobe maps (Laissue et al., 1999, Couto et al., 2005) or having its position changed (Chou et al., 2010; Yu et al., 2010). According to Chou et al (2010) and Yu et al (2010) glomerulus VP1 is located medially to glomerulus VP2. The VP1 glomerulus corresponds to the target region of the Ir40-expressing olfactory sensory neurons, corresponding to the ‘column’ (Silbering et al., 2011). Tanaka et al (2012) identifies a new glomerulus, VP4, as another target region of Ir40a-expressing olfactory sensory neurons, which is innervated by different projection neurons to VP1. Grabe et al. (2015) merge glomeruli VP1 and VM6.

Tags:

antennal lobe glomerulus VP2 [FBbt_00003928]

Ventro-posterior glomerulus of the adult antennal lobe. It lies just medial to glomerulus VP1. Discernible with Golgi impregnation or CoCl2 backfills (Stocker et al. 1990), but not with nc82/bruchtpilot immunolabelling, leading to it not being represented in antennal lobe maps (Laissue et al., 1999, Couto et al., 2005) or having its position changed (Chou et al., 2010; Yu et al., 2010). According to Chou et al (2010) glomerulus VP2 is located in between glomeruli VP1 and VP3. In Gallio et al (2011), glomerulus VP2 is described as corresponding to the medial region of the proximal antennal protocerebrum (PAP) which is innervated by hot-sensing neurons.

Tags:

antennal lobe glomerulus VP3 [FBbt_00003929]

Ventro-posterior glomerulus of the adult antennal lobe. It lies dorsolateral to glomerulus VP1. Discernible with Golgi impregnation or CoCl2 backfills (Stocker et al. 1990), but not with nc82/bruchtpilot immunolabelling, leading to it not being represented in antennal lobe maps (Laissue et al., 1999, Couto et al., 2005) or having its position changed relative to glomeruli VP1 and VP2 (Chou et al., 2010; Yu et al., 2010). According to Chou et al (2010) glomerulus VP3 is located laterally to glomerulus VP2. In Gallio et al (2011), glomerulus VP3 is described as corresponding to the lateral region of the proximal antennal protocerebrum (PAP) which is innervated by cold-sensing neurons.

Tags:

antennal lobe glomerulus VP4 [FBbt_00110865]

Ventro-posterior glomerulus of the adult antennal lobe. It lies dorsoposterior to glomerulus VP3, ventral to DP1. Discernible with Golgi impregnation, but not with nc82/bruchtpilot immunolabelling, according to Tanaka et al. (2012) this glomerulus corresponds to part of the innervation region of IR40a ORNs, identified as the ‘arm’ by Silbering et al. (2011). Although VP1 and VP4 glomeruli are innervated by IR40a neurons, these correspond to different subsets and are therefore considered different glomeruli (Tanaka et al., 2012).

Tags:

antennal lobe hub [FBbt_00100362]

Central, non-glomerular region of the adult antennal lobe. It is distinguished from the antennal lobe glomeruli in that olfactory receptor neurons do not terminate here, though antennal lobe projection neurons and many local neurons run through this area.

antennal mechanosensory and motor center [FBbt_00003982]

Adult neuropil domain that receives the axonal projections of the Johnston organ neurons (JONs) (Ito et al., 2014). It is part of the saddle, which is found in a relatively dorsal part of the subesophageal zone (Ito et al., 2014). It develops from the anteriormost (tritocerebral) part of the larval central sensory column, which greatly increases in size as JON axons enter it via the antennal nerve during metamorphosis (Kendroud et al., 2018). Afferents of the JONs also invade the mandibular and maxillary neuromeres (Kendroud et al., 2018).

anterior maxillary sensory center [FBbt_00040057]

Region of the adult tritocerebrum that houses the axonal terminals of sensory neurons that enter the brain via the anterior root of the maxillary-labial nerve (Miyazaki and Ito, 2010; Kendroud et al., 2018) including gustatory receptor neurons of labellum sensilla (Miyazaki and Ito, 2010). It forms part of the anterior ventral sensory compartment (Kendroud et al., 2018). Three distinct subregions can be identified: a lateral anteriormost zone (AMS1), a lateralmost zone (AMS2) and a medial zone that reaches the midline (AMS3) (Miyazaki and Ito, 2010). Carbon-dioxide-sensitive neurons from the medial taste pegs of the labellum (identified in E409-GAL4 and NP107-GAL4) terminate in the AMS1 zone (Miyazaki and Ito, 2010).

Tags:

anterior optic tubercle [FBbt_00007059]

Synaptic neuropil domain of the adult protocerebrum that receives extensive arborizations from visual projection neurons from the lobula and the medulla, projecting via the anterior optic tract. It protrudes from the anterior-most area of the ventro-lateral neuropils and is slightly detached from the ventro-lateral protocerebrum. This neuropil is absent from the larval brain, being formed during pupal development. Otsuna and Ito (2006) suggest that the optic tubercle may be divided into three regions according to the density of arborizations. The medial-most (optu1) and lateral-most (optu3) contain dense arborizations of the Lcn10 neurons, whilst the area between these regions (optu2) is essentially devoid of the lobula columnar neurons.

Tags:

anterior superior lateral protocerebrum [FBbt_00040045]

Anterior subregion of the superior lateral protocerebrum. Boundaries defined by Ito et al. (2014) (used to define this term) differ slightly from those defined for mslpr in Otsuna and Ito, 2006. There is no prominent natural boundary that clearly separates the posterior and anterior superior lateral protocerebrum. A frontal plane extrapolated from the boundary of the PVLP and PLP, which corresponds to the anterioposterior level of the great commissure, is used as a practical boundary.

Tags:

anterior superior medial protocerebrum [FBbt_00040062]

Region of the superior medial protocerebrum anterior to the fan-shaped body. Because the fan-shaped body protrudes deeply into the SMP, its superior apex is used as a practical boundary landmark between anterior and posterior superior medial protocerebrum (Ito et al., 2014).

Tags:

anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum [FBbt_00040043]

An aglomerular, bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain of the adult ventrolateral protocerebrum (VLP) that protrudes from the anterior brain between the optic lobe and the antennal lobe.

Tags:

antler [FBbt_00045039]

Thin, elongated, antler-shaped, bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain spanning from the inferior bridge to the inferior edge of the superior lateral protocerebrum. It runs through the space between the protocerebral bridge and the fan-shaped body, along the medial surface of the medial antennal lobe tract. The antler corresponds to part of the medial part of the pimpr of Otsuna and Ito (2006) and to the dorsal part of the caudalcentral protocerebrum (CCP) of Chiang et al., (2011) and to part of the posterior inferior protocerebrum (Ito et al., 2014).

asymmetrical body [FBbt_00110172]

Round synaptic neuropil of the central complex, adjacent to the ventralmost layer (1) of the fan-shaped body and dorsal to the noduli, on either side of the midline (Wolff and Rubin, 2018). The right asymmetrical body is, on average, 4x larger (by volume) than the left and some neurons have a bias towards the right hemisphere in their innervation patterns (Pascual et al., 2004; Jenett et al., 2012; Wolff and Rubin, 2018). In a small proportion (7.6%) of wild-type flies, this structure is symmetrical, with prominent (right side-like) innervation in both hemispheres (Pascual et al., 2004). This structure was identified by the expression of the neural protein fasciclin II (FasII) (Pascual et al., 2004). Wolff and Rubin (2018) claim this is a distinct neuropil to the fan-shaped body based on the restriction of neuronal arbors to one or the other.

Tags:

bulb [FBbt_00003682]

A bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain located lateral to the ellipsoid body and anterior lateral to the fan-shaped body. It contains 80 microglomeruli characterized by their granular texture. It is formed primarily by the collateral arborizations of neuronal fibers that project to the ellipsoid body and by the terminals of the fibers projecting from the anterior optic tubercle and other neuropils. The bulb corresponds to the medial part of the mimpr of Otsuna and Ito, (2006) and to the lateral triangle of Chiang et al., (2011) (Ito et al., 2014).

Tags:

cantle [FBbt_00045051]

A small, bilaterally paired, triangular synaptic neuropil domain that lies at the posterior end of the saddle. It is clearly demarcated by glial boundaries. The name ‘cantle’ was taken from the seat-back part of the horse-riding saddle. The cantle corresponds to the ventroposterior part of the ventromedial protocerebrum (VMP) of Chiang et al., (2011) and to the posterior periesophageal neuropils (Ito et al., 2014).

Tags:

clamp [FBbt_00040047]

Synaptic neuropil domain lying between the fan-shaped body, the protocerebral bridge and mushroom body pedunculus, including the area above and below the pedunculus (the space occupied by the pedunculus forms a deep tunnel-like recess on its inferior lateral side). Few neurons in the clamp penetrate the pedunculus, but some enter the glomerular posterior lateral protocerebrum and posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (PLP, PVLP), forming a characteristic cylindrical architecture around the pedunculus. Some fibers spanning the superior surface project into the superior arch commissure.

Tags:

core layer of the larval mushroom body [FBbt_00110203]

Middle layer of the third instar larval mushroom body, encompassing the pedunculus and lobes. It is surrounded by the inner layer. The larval-born alpha’/beta’ type Kenyon cells are contained in this layer. This layer was identified by staining with a FasII antibody. The core layer is FasII-negative (Pauls et al., 2010; Kurusu et al., 2002).

Tags:

cryptic tooth of fan-shaped body [FBbt_00049148]

Smallest and most lateral protrusion of layer 1 of the fan-shaped body at its ventral margin (Wolff et al., 2015). There is one per hemisphere and it lies ventral and anterior to its nearest neighbor (Wolff et al., 2015). The ‘cryptic teeth’ that are elusive in that they are not evident in nc82-labeled samples, but only in specimens with the right combination of labeled cells (Wolff et al., 2015).

Tags:

distal larval optic neuropil [FBbt_00048290]

Distal region of the larval optic neuropil, closest to the entry point of the Bolwig nerve. It contains the terminals of the Rh6 photoreceptors. The distal LON in Sprecher et al., 2011 (FBrf0215208) also included the intermediate LON; these were separated in Larderet et al., 2017.

ellipsoid body anterior domain [FBbt_00047034]

Small, most anterior subdivision of the ellipsoid body. It contains the arborizations of R5 ring neurons, and no other R-neurons (Omoto et al., 2017; Omoto et al., 2018). The ‘anterior ring’ of Hanesch et al. (1989) and ‘anterior disk’ of Renn et al. (1999) appear to refer to EBa, EBic and EBoc, collectively. The ‘anterior shell’ of Wolff et al. (2015) contains only EBa (Omoto et al., 2018).

It contains the arborizations of R3a, R3d and R3m ring neurons (Omoto et al., 2018). The ‘anterior ring’ of Hanesch et al. (1989) and ‘anterior disk’ of Renn et al. (1999) appear to refer to EBa, EBic and EBoc, collectively. The ‘medial shell’ of Wolff et al. (2015) refers to EBic and EBoc (Omoto et al., 2018). Lin et al. (2013) included R2 neuron arborizations in this (EBA) domain, but Renn et al. (1999) and Omoto et al. (2018) assign them to the outer domain (EBoc).

Inner concentric subdivision of the posterior part of the ellipsoid body. It contains the arborization of R1 ring neurons, which mark the boundary between the inner and outer posterior domains (Omoto et al., 2018). The ‘posterior ring’ of Hanesch et al. (1989) and ‘posterior disk’ of Renn et al. (1999) appear to refer to EBop and EBip collectively. The ‘posterior shell’ of Wolff et al. (2015) also refers to EBop and EBip collectively (Omoto et al., 2018).

Outer concentric subdivision of the ellipsoid body. It contains the arborization of R2, R4d and R4m ring neurons (Renn et al., 1999; Young and Armstrong, 2010; Omoto et al., 2018). The ‘anterior ring’ of Hanesch et al. (1989) and ‘anterior disk’ of Renn et al. (1999) appear to refer to EBa, EBic and EBoc, collectively. The ‘medial shell’ of Wolff et al. (2015) refers to EBic and EBoc (Omoto et al., 2018). Lin et al. (2013) do not seem to include R2 neurons in the outer ring (EBO), but they are included by Renn et al. (1999) and by Omoto et al. (2018), who claim that EBO corresponds to EBoc.

embryonic/larval anterior ventromedial cerebrum [FBbt_00007725]

The anterior part of the ventromedial cerebrum (BPM). It abuts the posterior ventromedial cerebrum (VMCp) at the coronal slice level of the Great Commissure, (GC, BLAv1,BLD5; Pereanu et al. 2010). Ventrally, the boundary with the tritocerebrum (centro-medial and dorsal compartments) is defined by a somewhat curved, more or less axial plane defined by the tracts loVL (Balp2/3; Hartenstein et al., 2015) , loVM (Bamv1/2; Hartenstein et al., 2015) and the BAla3 tract (Kumar et al., 2009). Medially, an extension of the centro-medial tritocerebrum is separated from the VMCa by the loVM (BAmv1/2) fascicle and a glial septum (Pereanu et al., 2006); more posteriorly, this boundary continues as a discontinuity in synaptic density (e.g. as assayed using the presynaptic marker bruchpilot). Laterally, the VMCa borders the lateral accessory lobe (LAL), separated by a virtual sagittal plane intersecting the deCP (DALd; posteriorly) and loVM (Bamv1/2; anteriorly) (Pereanu et al., 2006). At a more posterior level, the Ventro Lateral Protocerebrum (VLP) flanks the VMCa laterally, with the boundary along that of the posterior lateral protocerebrum (PLP)-VMCp, i.e. a virtual sagittal plane intersecting the LEFp (CP1v; posteriorly) and the loVL (Balp2/3; anteriorly) fascicles. The medial clamp borders the VMCa dorso-laterally with a virtual axial plane intersecting the MEF (CM1,3,4, medially) and LEFp (CP1v, laterally) fascicles constituting the boundary (Hartenstein et al., 2015). The Crepine borders dorsally, the boundary extending along the DALv2/3 (Hartenstein et al., 2015), DALcl1 and BAmd1v lineage tracts and the commissural fascicle SuEC (DALcl1v; Hartenstein et al., 2015). The lower toe (medial appendix of larval mushroom body) is dorso-medial. A region of low synaptic density separates the VMCa from the primordial fan-shaped body.

It consists of a bilaterally symmetrical slightly curved, horizontal, bar-shaped structure of tufts of filopodia, with undifferentiated synapses, branching off axon bundles stretching from the midline region posterior and adjacent to the mushroom body medial lobe, to a plexus slightly medial to the peduncle. In the late larval brain both halves are interconnected by a plexus of commissural fibers. It is formed by fan-shaped body pioneer neurons in the embryo/early larva and grows during larval development as it is invaded by secondary neurons (Andrade et al., 2019).

embryonic/larval mushroom body [FBbt_00011929]

Mushroom body (MB) of the larva. It only has two lobes, medial and vertical, in contrast to the adult MB, which has five lobes (Lee et al., 1999). Both lobes are composed of gamma neurons, which are the only Kenyon cells (KCs) present in the newly hatched first instar (Kunz et al., 2012). MB neuroblasts continue to produce new KCs throughout the larval stages (Lee et al., 1999). These new KCs form layers in the larval MB peduncle and lobes, with four distinguishable layers present in the third instar (Kurusu et al., 2002). Three types of KCs can be identified in these layers: embryonic-born gamma type (surface layer), larval-born gamma type (outer and inner layers) and larval-born alpha’/beta’ type (core layer) neurons (Kurusu et al., 2002). During the pupal stage, alpha/beta KCs are produced and the larval MB is remodeled into the adult MB (Lee et al., 1999). The four layers in the pedunculus and lobes were identified by staining with a FasII antibody. The surface layer is partially FasII-negative, the outer and inner layers are FasII-positive and the core is FasII-negative (Selcho et al., 2009; Kurusu et al., 2002).

embryonic/larval posterior inferior protocerebrum [FBbt_00007070]

A synaptic neuropil domain of the larval brain located posterior to the medial lobe of the mushroom body. It is separated from the clamp by the antenno-cerebral tract to which it is connected via a branch. Most of the posterior inferior protocerebrum (CPM domain) is displaced during pupal development. The region at the most posterior edge remains and gives rise to part of the adult posterior inferior protocerebrum. The adult central complex arises from secondary axonal tracts of several lineages that invade the CPM, forming dense layers of neuropil and displacing it. Developmental relation to adult synaptic neuropil domain is a PC from Volker Hartenstein. Note - description of relative location of brain structures in this definition is based on Younossi-Hartenstein et al., 2003 description of the first instar larval brain and Pereanu et al., 2010 third instar larval brain.

embryonic/larval posterior lateral protocerebrum [FBbt_00007723]

A synaptic neuropil domain located ventro-postero-laterally in the larval central brain (posterior part of BPL). Anteriorly, the great commissure (BLAv1,BLD5) defines the boundary, in the coronal plane, with the ventrolateral protocerebrum (VLP). Dorsally, there is a slim border with the superior lateral protocerebrum (SLP). Medially, a virtual sagittal plane intersecting the CP1v tract and the Balp2/3 tract separates the this domain from the ventromedial cerebrum (VMCp). Laterally, a glial septum and BLP1/2 tract separates it from the lobula. The clamp is dorso-medial and laterally, the boundary is a continuation posteriorly of the clamp-VLP border i.e. the virtual plane defined by the LEFp(CP1v) and PLF(CP2/3v) fascicles to LEFa(DALv1) fascicle (Hartenstein et al., 2015). The superior lateral protocerebrum (SLP) forms a slim ventral border with the PLP, which is defined by the entry point of the trSI(BLD1-4) fascicle; in addition, a higher synaptic density (e.g. as assayed using the presynaptic marker bruchpilot) demarcates the posterior SLP from the PLP. Developmental relation to adult synaptic neuropil domain is a PC from Volker Hartenstein.

embryonic/larval protocerebral bridge - primordial [FBbt_00111206]

The primordium of the adult protocerebral bridge in the larval brain, formed from the DPMm1 and DPMpm1/2 and CM4 lineages. Unlike in the adult, this exists as a bilateral pair of separate domains that do not join across the midline. These domains are tubular shaped regions containing both differentiated and undifferentiated synapses, in the posterior inferior protocerebrum (IPp or CPM). Each domain curls around the dorsal side from the posterior, growing during the larval period towards the midline. Fusion of the two halves, just posterior to the PLPC (DPLp1) commissure and fan-shaped body, only occurs 48h after pupariation.

fan-shaped body [FBbt_00003679]

The largest synaptic neuropil domain of the adult central complex, located posterior to the ellipsoid body and anterior to the protocerebral bridge (Hanesch et al., 1989; Wolff et al., 2015). The fan-shaped body is composed of a rough 2-dimensional grid of layers and columns (Hanesch et al., 1998; Wolff et al., 2015; Hulse et al., 2020). Eight horizontal layers, numbered bottom to top, form a fan shape and can be divided into vertical columns (sometimes called staves, slices or segments) (Ito et al., 2014; Wolff et al., 2015). An additional, much narrower, 9th layer, which lacks a columnar organization, sits dorsal to layer 8 (Wolff et al., 2015). The number of columns varies for different neuronal types (Scheffer et al., 2020). Previously thought to be 8 slices per hemisphere numbered from 1-8 medial to lateral - arranged in 4 closely associated pairs (Ito et al., 2014). Each of the two neighboring slices (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8) are associated more closely because they receive small-field columnar neurons generated by the same neuroblasts, forming four groups on each side of the midline, from lateral to medial: segment pair W, X, Y and Z (Boyan and Williams, 2011; Ito and Awasaki, 2008). Six to nine layers can be identified, depending on the staining that is used (Hanesch et al., 1989; Young and Armstrong, 2010; Kahsai and Winther, 2011, Lin et al., 2013, Wolff et al., 2015). Recent papers divide the FB into 9 layers (Wolff et al., 2015; Scheffer et al., 2020).

fan-shaped body layer [FBbt_00040035]

Horizontal, laminar subdivision of the fan-shaped body that results from the stratification of large field neurons. There are 8 layers that run parallel to each other increasing in width dorsally to form a fan shape (Ito et al., 2014). There is additionally a ‘cap’ (layer 9) that sits dorsal to layer 8 and is narrower than the other layers (Wolff et al., 2015). Based on silver staining, Hanesch et al., (1989) claim that there are 6 layers in the fan-shaped body (1-6 from top to bottom). In more recent work using the synaptic marker Nc82, Young and Armstrong (2010) state that there are ‘roughly 8 layers’, but note that ’establishing specific layers clearly’ can often prove difficult. Lin et al. (2013) define 6 layers (a-f, from top to bottom). This ontology currently follows Ito et al. (2014), which divides the fan-shaped body into 8 layers, numbering them from bottom to top. We additionally have the extra dorsal layer (9) defined by Wolff et al., (2015).

Bilaterally paired neuropil structure situated postero-dorsally in the protocerebrum that functions in olfactory associative learning and memory. The mushroom body is divided into: the calyx, which is closest to the cortex and receives sensory interneuron afferents; the pedunculus, which is a thick axon bundle extending from the calyx to the base of the lobes; and the mushroom body lobe system, which consists of a vertical branch and a medial branch, which have different structures at different life stages (Lee et al., 1999; Ito et al., 2014). This term as defined in Ito et al. (2014) corresponds to both the mushroom body (MB) and calyx (Cal) of Chiang et al., (2011).

mushroom body alpha\' anterior-posterior layer [FBbt_00100266]

Anterior-most layer of the mushroom body alpha’ lobe. This layer was originally defined as two different regions, anterior and posterior (Tanaka et al., 2008). It was later recognized that the same Kenyon cells innervate both parts of the layer, meaning it can be considered as one (anterior-posterior) layer (Aso et al., 2014).

A synaptic neuropil domain containing dendrites of Kenyon cells and receiving sensory interneuron afferents, mainly from the antennal lobes (Ito et al., 2014; Saumweber et al., 2018). It is located on the posterior side of the brain, close to the cortex where the cell bodies of the Kenyon cells are located (Lee et al., 1999; Saumweber et al., 2018). The peduncle extends anteriorly from the calyx to the base of the lobes (Ito et al., 2014; Saumweber et al., 2018).

mushroom body slice [FBbt_00047310]

Division of a mushroom body lobe along the length of the mushroom body lobe system (Pauls et al., 2010; Aso et al., 2014). Slices of the horizontal lobe are regions along the horizontal axis and slices of the vertical lobe are regions along the vertical axis (Pauls et al., 2010; Aso et al., 2014). Slices are defined by the innervation patterns of input and output neurons (Pauls et al., 2010; Aso et al., 2014).

nodulus [FBbt_00003680]

Paired synaptic neuropil domain of the adult brain located just caudal to the ellipsoid body and ventral to the fan-shaped body, on either side of the midline (Hanesch et al., 1989). There are three of these structures, stacked on top of each other from dorsal to ventral, and at least two can be further divided into compartments (Wolff et al., 2015; Wolff and Rubin, 2018). There is asymmetry between the noduli, with one set always lying slightly more anterior than the other (Ito et al., 2014). Ito et al. (2014) state that there are four subunits of one nodulus per hemisphere, but Wolff et al. (2015) and Wolff and Rubin (2018) class the noduli as three distinct units and count ‘subunit IV’ as part of nodulus 3; here we follow the Wolff nomenclature.

Tags:

outer layer of the larval mushroom body [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).

Tags:

pedunculus divide of adult mushroom body [FBbt_00045009]

The anterior end of the pedunculus of the adult mushroom body, where the Kenyon cell fibers bifurcate to project to the vertical and medial lobes. Considering that the Kenyon cell fiber projecting from the calyx divide rather than meet at this point, the term ‘pedunculus junction’ is somewhat misleading. Similarly, to prevent ambiguity, the terms ‘heel’ and ‘knee’ have been avoided as they are also used for referring to the mushroom body spur.

Tags:

periesophageal neuropils [FBbt_00045047]

Group of synaptic neuropil domains in the adult brain located between the antennal lobe/ventromedial neuropils and above the gnathal ganglia.

posterior lateral protocerebrum [FBbt_00040044]

A bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain of the adult that contains many glomeruli and is located behind the posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (PVLP) and above the wedge. The mid-level of the posterior lateral protocerebrum (PLP) is separated from the PVLP by the great commissure, but above and below this the two neuropils are contiguous. The PLP houses many optic glomeruli formed by the terminals of neurons projecting from the optic lobe, primarily from the lobula plate. The boundary with the PVLP is defined by the boundary between these glomeruli that have different origins (lobula or lobula plate). The PLP corresponds to almost all of the plpr of Otsuna and Ito (2006) and to the caudal ventrolateral protocerebrum (CVLP) and lateral part of the superpeduncular protocerebrum (SPP) of Chiang et al., (2011) (Ito et al., 2014).

posterior maxillary sensory center [FBbt_00040056]

Region spanning the adult tritocerebrum and mandibular neuromere that contains terminals of sensory neurons that enter the brain via the anterior intermediate root of the maxillary-labial nerve and the anterior and medial roots of the pharyngeal nerve (Miyazaki and Ito, 2010). Five distinct subregions can be identified: a horn-like protrusion in the dorsolateral GNG (PMS1), a dorsal medial region (PMS2), a ventral medial region (PMS3), a zone near the entry point of the labial nerve (PMS4) and a zone ventral to PSM3 (PSM5) (Miyazaki and Ito, 2010). It arises from the larval anterior central sensory compartment (Kendroud et al., 2018). Bitter-sensitive neurons of the labellum sensilla (identified with Gr32a-, Gr66a- and NV4-GAL4) terminate in PMS1-3 zones. Subsets of Gr66a-GAL4 positive neurons terminated in specific subareas of these zones. Water-sensitive neurons (identified with NP1017-GAL4) and sugar-sensitive neurons (identified with Gr5a-GAL4) terminate in PMS4-5 zones (Miyazaki and Ito, 2010).

It contains extensive arborizations of ascending and descending neurons. Its superior boundary is the level above which such arborizations do not occur. It also contains the terminals of axons from the ocellar ganglia, projecting via the ocellar nerve. The ventral complex corresponds to the caudal medial protocerebrum (CMP) and possibly includes part of the ventromedial protocerebrum (VMP) of Chiang et al., (2011) (Ito et al., 2014).

Tags:

posterior superior lateral protocerebrum [FBbt_00040046]

Posterior subregion of the superior lateral protocerebrum. Boundaries defined by Ito et al. (2014) (used to define this term) differ slightly from those defined for pslpr in Otsuna and Ito, (2006). There is no prominent natural boundary that clearly separates the posterior and anterior superior lateral protocerebrum. A frontal plane extrapolated from the boundary of the PVLP and PLP, which corresponds to the anterioposterior level of the great commissure, is used as a practical boundary.

Tags:

posterior superior medial protocerebrum [FBbt_00040063]

Region of the superior medial protocerebrum posterior to the fan-shaped body. Because the fan-shaped body protrudes deeply into the SMP, its superior apex is used as a practical boundary landmark between anterior and posterior superior medial protocerebrum (Ito et al., 2014).

Tags:

posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum [FBbt_00040042]

A glomerular, bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain lying in front of the posterior lateral protocerebrum (PLP), and above the wedge. The great commissure is at the boundary in the mid-level between the PLVP and PLP. It is contiguous with posterior lateral protocerebrum (PLP), which lies behind it. It houses many optic glomeruli formed by the terminals of neurons projecting from the optic lobe, primarily from the lobula. The boundary with the PLP, except at mid-level, is defined as the boundary between these glomeruli with different origins (lobula or lobula plate).

protocerebral bridge [FBbt_00003668]

A handle bar-shaped synaptic neuropil located just posterior to the fan-shaped body. Its lateral edge ends at the posterior end of the inferior clamp (ICL) near the medial equatorial fascicle (MEF). A row of 18 connected slices (9 on each side of the midline, numbered 1-9 from medial to lateral) that forms a dorso-posteriorly located part of the central complex embedded in the cortex between the calyces of the two mushroom bodies. The identification of the most medial slice (slice 1) by Wolff et al. (2015) meant that the domain that was previously called slice 1 corresponds in fact to slice 2. Each of the two neighboring slices (2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9) are associated more closely because small-field columnar neurons innervate the fan-shaped body via the protocerebral bridge, and these neurons are generated by the same neuroblasts, forming four groups on each side of the midline, from lateral to medial: segment pair W, X, Y and Z (Boyan and Williams et al., 2011; Ito and Awasaki, 2008).

protocerebral bridge glomerulus [FBbt_00003669]

One of the 18 slices that make up the adult protocerebral bridge, 9 on each side of the midline, numbered 1-9 from medial to lateral. The identification of the most medial slice (slice 1) by Wolff et al. (2015) meant that the domain that was previously called slice 1 corresponds in fact to slice 2. Author mentions of 8 slices in the protocerebral bridge indicates that they are using the old nomenclature. Each of the two neighboring slices (2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9) are associated more closely because small-field columnar neurons innervate the fan-shaped body via the protocerebral bridge, and these neurons are generated by the same neuroblasts, forming four groups on each side of the midline, from lateral to medial: segment pair W, X, Y and Z (Boyan and Williams et al., 2011; Ito and Awasaki, 2008).

It forms the ventral part of the tritocerebrum, developing from the ventromedial domain of the larval tritocerebrum (Hartenstein et al., 2018). The name ‘prow’ was taken from the anterior-most part of the hull of a boat. It is part of the ventral cerebral ganglion, which is included in the adult subesophageal zone (old subesophageal ganglion, or SOG) (Ito et al., 2014). The prow also corresponds to the dorsoanterior part of the subesophageal ganglion (SOG) of Chiang et al., (2011) and to the part of the anterior periesophageal neuropils (Ito et al., 2014).

Boundaries with the superior clamp, anterior and posterior ventro-lateral protocerebrum are defined using clearly distinguishable fiber bundles. Boundaries defined by Ito et al. (2014) (used to define this term) differ slightly from those defined for slpr in Otsuna and Ito, 2006. The anterior superior SLP corresponds to mslpr and the posterior superior SLP to pslpr of Otsuna and Ito (2006).

The tectulum is a distinct subdivision of the thoracic regions of the ventral nerve cord (VNC) (Power, 1948). The region forms a saddle-like structure located dorsally, primarily over the accessory mesothoracic neuropil, spanning the mesothoracic neuromere (MesoNm), and extending into the posteriormost region of the prothoracic neuromere (ProNm) and the anteriormost region of the metathoracic neuromere (MetaNm) (Power, 1948). Its internal boundaries within the VNC can be defined as the dorsal region of the neuropil posterior to the ventral ellipse in the ProNm, but dorsal to the bundles from 12B, 6B, 23 17, 18B in the MesoNm (Shepherd et al., 2016; Court et al., 2020). It extends posteriorly through the MesoNm to the entry point of hemilineage 3A in the MetaNm (Shepherd et al., 2016). It is stratified into the upper, intermediate and lower tectulum (Namiki et al., 2018; Court et al., 2020).

thoracic intermediate neuropil [FBbt_00049995]

Region of adult leg neuropil between the ventral association center and the tectulum that occupies most of the central third of the dorsoventral area (in transverse section) of each thoracic neuromere (Court et al., 2020). It contains the dendritic branches of leg motor neurons, premotor interneurons and sensory afferents from leg sensory neurons (Court et al., 2020).

tooth of fan-shaped body [FBbt_00049146]

Protrusion of layer 1 of the fan-shaped body at its ventral margin (Wolff et al., 2015). There are seven distinct teeth resembling cogs, plus an additional two ‘cryptic teeth’, making a total of nine teeth (Wolff et al., 2015). The central tooth is most posterior, spanning both hemispheres, and it is flanked on each side by three prominent and increasingly anterior teeth (Wolff et al., 2015). The most lateral (cryptic) tooth in each hemisphere is the smallest and lies ventral and anterior to its nearest neighbor (Wolff et al., 2015). Each tooth corresponds to one of the nine columns defined by columnar neurons innervating the protocerebral bridge and fan-shaped body (Hulse et al., 2020). The ‘cryptic teeth’ that are elusive in that they are not evident in nc82-labeled samples, but only in specimens with the right combination of labeled cells (Wolff et al., 2015).

upper tectulum [FBbt_00049994]

Dorsalmost layer of the tectulum that sits dorsal to the dorsal medial tract and haltere tract (Court et al., 2020). The upper tectulum can be further segregated on the basis of the synapse rich neuropil regions into three segment-specific neuropils; a prothoracic neck neuropil, a mesothoracic wing neuropil and a metathoracic haltere neuropil (Court et al., 2020).

upper toe of larval mushroom body medial lobe [FBbt_00047979]

Dorsal lobe of the medial part of the larval mushroom body medial lobe, which forms a compartment defined by the innervation pattern of mushroom body extrinsic neurons (MBINs and MBONs) (Saumweber et al., 2018). This appears to be within the M1 region described by Pauls et al., 2010. Unclear how well shaft, upper toe, intermediate toe, lower toe terminology from Saumweber et al., 2018 (FlyBase:FBrf0238440) maps to M2, M1 and medial appendix from Pauls et al., 2010 (FlyBase:FBrf0211533) [FBC:CP].

V1 segment of the vertical lobe [FBbt_00110199]

Ventral-most segment of the vertical lobe of the larval mushroom body, ventral to V2. It is associated with aversive memory (Eschbach et al., 2020). Unclear how well upper, intermediate, lower terminology from Saumweber et al., 2018 (FlyBase:FBrf0238440) maps to V3, V2, V1 from Pauls et al., 2010 (FlyBase:FBrf0211533) [FBC:CP].

V2 segment of the vertical lobe [FBbt_00110198]

Medial segment of the vertical lobe of the larval mushroom body, ventral to V3 and dorsal to V1. It is associated with aversive memory (Eschbach et al., 2020). Unclear how well upper, intermediate, lower terminology from Saumweber et al., 2018 (FlyBase:FBrf0238440) maps to V3, V2, V1 from Pauls et al., 2010 (FlyBase:FBrf0211533) [FBC:CP].

ventral complex [FBbt_00040071]

A group of synaptic neuropil domains in the adult brain located below (ventral to) the central complex, behind the lateral accessory lobes and in front of the great commissure. In includes the vest, epaulette and gorget. The ventral complex corresponds to part of the inferior part of the vmpr of Otsuna and Ito (2006) and to most of the ventromedial protocerebrum (VMP) and proximal antennal protocerebrum (PAN) of Chiang et al., (2011) (Ito et al., 2014).

ventrolateral protocerebrum [FBbt_00007058]

A large mass of synaptic neuropil domains in the anterior brain of the adult, between the antennal lobe and the optic lobe (Ito et al., 2014). It can be divided into an anterior and posterior regions (AVLP and PVLP) (Ito et al., 2014). Currently some uncertainty about whether this is truly protocerebral - may actually be part of deutocerebrum (Strausfeld has characterized it as such). This should be clarified as a result of Volker Hartenstein’s lineage mapping work. The VLP corresponds to almost all of the vlpr of Otsuna and Ito (2006) and to the ventrolateral protocerebrum (VLP) and optic glomerulus (OG) of Chiang et al., (2011) (Ito et al., 2014).

ventromedial neuropils [FBbt_00040002]

A group of synaptic neuropil domains in the adult brain located above or and lateral to the esophagus, below the mushroom body calyx and inferior neuropils, behind the lateral accessory lobe and medial to the ventrolateral neuropils. Despite the name, intended as a singular noun as in “The United States”.

vest [FBbt_00040041]

Bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain that is the largest and most medial domain of the ventral complex. Its inferior (ventral) boundary with the saddle is demarcated by a glial sheath and the medial and lateral sides are flanked respectively by the esophagus and inferior fiber system. The vest corresponds to part of the inferior region of the vmpr of Otsuna and Ito (2006) and the part of the precommissural ventromedial cerebrum (Ito et al., 2014).

Tags:

wedge [FBbt_00045027]

An aglomerular, bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain that is the inferior-most domain of the ventrolateral neuropils, lying between the anterior and posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (AVLP and PVLP) and posteriorlateral protocerebrum (PLP), and the saddle and gnathal ganglion. The wedge is lateral to the inferior fiber system and vest. It receives synaptic input from the saddle and the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (AMMC) within it. This includes direct sensory input from antennal mechanosensory neurons that also innervate the AMMC. The anterior wedge corresponds to the inferior part of the vlpr of Otsuna and Ito (2006); the posterior wedge corresponds to part of the plpr (Ito et al., 2014).
