description: "Cell body rind region that lies in a medial cleft dividing the left and right superior protocerebrum, anterior to the calyces of the mushroom bodies and dorsal to the central complex. It contains numerous large and small somata of neurosecretory and neuromodulatory neurons. In the larva, these neurons are split into bilaterally symmetric clusters on either side of the medial cleft whereas in the adult they are one unpaired cluster (Siegmund and Korge, 2001, Velasco et al., 2007)."
