General Information
Term medulla tangential intrinsic neuron of dorsal rim area 2 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00052146 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Medulla tangential intrinsic neuron of the dorsal rim area (DRA) with its soma on the dorsal side of the medulla (Kind et al., 2021). Its main process is in the DRA region, but it also has long processes extending ventrally into non-DRA columns (Kind et al., 2021). It receives input from R7 photoreceptors of the DRA, mainly in layers M6/M7 (Kind et al., 2021). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 20 of these cells on each side (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0252485 FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "adult central medulla neuron Cm14" ; "Cm14" ; "medullary tangential intrinsic neuron of dorsal rim area 2" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
