Nomenclature for neurons discussed in this review. While MB subsets have consistent nomenclature, several systems have been used to label DANs and MBONs. We use the system of Aso et al. in this review.
| Subset | Nomenclature1 | Nomenclature2 | Nomenclature3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mushroom body (MB) neurons; = Kenyon Cells (KCs) | α/β | |||
| α′/β′ | ||||
| γ | ||||
| Dopaminergic neurons (DANs) | PPL1 neurons | PPL1-γ1pedc | MB-MP1 | |
| PPL1-α2α′2 | MB-V2 | |||
| PAM neurons | PAM-γ3 | MB-M2 | ||
| PAM-γ5 | asp13 | |||
| PAM-β2β′2a | PAM-M3 | |||
| Mushroom body output neurons (MBONs) | β1>α | MB-MV2 | ||
