General Information
Term adult ellipsoid body ring neuron R5 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047042 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition R-neuron whose axons specifically target the small, anterior domain of the ellipsoid body, projecting short terminal branches centripetally (Omoto et al., 2017; Omoto et al., 2018). Dendritic terminals are confined to a small distinct ventromedial locus in the superior bulb (Omoto et al., 2018).[ FlyBase:FBrf0235330 FlyBase:FBrf0240929 ]
Also Known As "ER5"
Comment Omoto et al. (2018) say this may previously have been grouped in with R2 or R4 neurons in studies using less specific drivers, but maintain that it is a distinct class due to its centripetal projection pattern.
