| Term |
adult central brain astrocyte-like glial cell |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00047885 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Astrocyte-like glial cell of the adult central brain. These cells have their nuclei at synaptic neuropil surfaces throughout the central brain (not just adjacent to the cell body rind) and they extend processes into the synaptic and/or tract neuropil (Kremer et al., 2017). They have variable size and morphology and one cell may project into more than one neuropil region, but cells tend to cover non-overlapping areas (Kremer et al., 2017). Reticular glial cell processes in the synaptic neuropil of the central brain tend to be more dense in neuropil regions where synaptic terminals of neurons are less dense (Kremer et al., 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0229106 FlyBase:FBrf0234767 ] |
