Morphology and physiology of a projection neuron from the lateral horn (LH). (A) LH–SLP bilateral neuron #1. Frontal view of the morphology of the neuron (A1). The innervation has a smooth appearance in the LH and a blebby appearance in the mushroom body calyx and superior lateral protocerebrum (SLP). The inset shows a schematic of the neuronal innervation. Neuronal innervation in the lateral protocerebrum is shown (A2). The depth from the posterior brain surface is shown in the top-right panel. (A3) Response profile of the neuron. The neuron exhibits an excitatory response with differential latency in response to odour and mechanosensory stimuli. (B) LH–SLP bilateral neuron #2. (B1) Frontal view of the morphology of the neuron. The innervation has a smooth appearance in the LH and a blebby appearance in the superior medial protocerebrum (SMP) and superior lateral protocerebrum (SLP). The inset shows a schematic of the neuronal innervation. (B2) Neuronal innervation in the LH. The innervation is biased towards the anterior LH. (B3) Response profile of the neuron. (C) LH–MB unilateral neuron. (C1) Frontal view of the morphology of the neuron. The mushroom body is shown in grey. The innervation has a smooth appearance in the LH and a blebby appearance in the calyx. The inset shows a schematic of the neuronal innervation. (C2) Confocal stacks of neuronal innervation in the lateral protocerebrum. (C3) Response profile of the neuron. The grey box represents the time period of odour presentation.
