General Information
Term medulla tangential neuron Mt3 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003839 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Medulla tangential neuron which extends superficially throughout the anterior-posterior expanse of the distal medulla. It shows both fine and bleb-like arborizations throughout medulla layers M1, M2 and M3 (Morante and Desplan, 2008; Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989).[ FlyBase:FBrf0049410 FlyBase:FBrf0204652 ]
Also Known As "medullary tangential neuron Mt3" ; "Mt3"
Comment Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation judged by scoring of terminal morphology from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich (1989) as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB.
