General Information
Term distal medullary amacrine neuron Dm5 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003772 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Distal medullary wide-field amacrine neuron that has a moderately broad, fine terminal arborization in layers M4-6. It is a glutamatergic neuron (Raghu and Borst, 2011).[ FlyBase:FBrf0049410 FlyBase:FBrf0204652 FlyBase:FBrf0213690 ]
Also Known As "Dm5"
Comment The neurotransmitter was assessed by labelling cells with a vGlut[CNSIII]-GAL4 driver (FBti0129148) (Raghu and Borst, 2011). Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation judged by scoring of terminal morphology from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich (1989) as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB.
