alpha\'/beta\' anterior-posterior Kenyon cell [FBbt_00100250]
A subgroup of the adult mushroom body alpha’/beta’ neurons that has dendrites in the main calyx and project axons to the anterior and posterior layers of the alpha’/beta’ lobes (Tanaka et al., 2008; Aso et al., 2014). There are around 210 of these neurons in each hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Li et al., 2020). Comparison of the expression patterns of the enhancer traps NP65, NP1131, NP6522 and NP7427 prompted the classification of three subpopulations (anterior, middle and posterior) of alpha’/beta’ neurons by Tanaka et al., (2008), according to their terminal positions. Aso et al. (2014) showed that there are only two subtypes, anterior-posterior and middle. Comparisons using these enhancer trap lines suggests that the neurons terminating in the anterior of the alpha’ lobe are the same subclass as those terminating in the anterior of the beta’ lobe (Tanaka et al., 2008).
