Term medulla tangential neuron Mt9 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003845 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Medulla tangential neuron whose axon extends along the proximal side of the medulla, and then extends along the top of the medulla neuropil, only sparing the most posterior part of it. It displays bleb-like terminals throughout the top of medulla layer M1, with a few entering the proximal side of layer M2.[ FlyBase:FBrf0049410 ]
Also Known As "medullary tangential neuron Mt9" ; "Mt9"
Comment Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation judged by scoring of terminal morphology from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich (1989) as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB.
