It consists of a dense cluster of approximately 12 photoreceptor neurons and no support cells (Green et al., 1993; Hartenstein et al., 2019). It is connected to the brain via the Bolwig nerve (Green et al., 1993).[ FlyBase:FBrf0064481 FlyBase:FBrf0089570 FlyBase:FBrf0243080 ] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
