| Term |
posterior optic commissure |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00007427 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
A large midline-crossing commissure that emerges from the serpentine layer of the medulla and connects the medulla of each brain hemisphere, passing dorsal to the esophageal foramen (Helfrich-Forster and Homberg, 1993; Ito et al., 2014). It demarcates the boundaries of the posterior lateral protocerebrum (posterior-inferior region), superior posterior slope (posterior-inferior region) and inferior posterior slope (posterior-superior region) (Ito et al., 2014).[ FlyBase:FBrf0065419 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 FlyBase:FBrf0239233 FlyBase:FBrf0239234 ] |
| Also Known As |
"POC" ; "posterior optic tract" ; "POT" |
| Comment |
The posterior optic commissure corresponds to the posterior optic tract. The name has been changed to reflect the fact that the tract connects both hemispheres (Ito et al., 2014). |
