General Information
Term adult central brain tract neuropil ensheathing glial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00049493 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Glial cell of the adult central brain that lies along the surface of a tract (Kremer et al., 2017). These cells extend along the long axes of their tracts and have ragged ends, but together with their neighbors, they form a neatly contiguous sheath, completely surrounding the tracts (Kremer et al., 2017). Their nuclei are found in non-cortical regions deep within the brain and along the tracts they associate with (Kremer et al., 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0234767 ]
Also Known As "adult central brain EGT" ; "adult central brain tract-ensheathing glial cell"
