adult alpha'/beta' Kenyon cell

ID: FBbt_00049834

Mushroom body neuron of the adult that bifurcates at the anterior end of the pedunculus, projecting into the mushroom body alpha'-lobe and beta'-lobe (Lee et al., 1999; Tanaka et al., 2008). It develops from a larval alpha'/beta' Kenyon cell with little alteration during metamorphosis (Lee et al., 1999). In the pedunculus, the alpha' and beta' neurons occupy an intermediate stratum between the gamma axons at the periphery and the alpha/beta neurons at the core (Tanaka et al., 2008; Li et al., 2020). Most arborize in the main calyx, with a subset arborizing in the lateral accessory calyx (Marin et al., 2020). There is a total of around 340 of these cells per hemisphere (Li et al., 2020).
