General Information
Term medulla tangential neuron Mt7 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003843 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Medulla tangential neuron that enters the medulla through its proximal face at the level of the serpentine layer. It shows extensive fine and bleb-like arborizations in medulla layers M4, M5, M6, the serpentine layer and M8. It is a GABAergic neuron.[ FlyBase:FBrf0049410 FlyBase:FBrf0220286 ]
Also Known As "medullary tangential neuron Mt7" ; "Mt7"
Comment Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation judged by scoring of terminal morphology from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich (1989) as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB. The neurotransmitter was assessed by the intersection of the expression of the VGAT-GAL4 driver (FBtp0069181) and an antibody against GABA (Raghu et al., 2013).
