General Information
Term adult optic lobe Mip neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00053237 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult Myoinhibitory peptide-expressing neuron with an anterior soma in the lateral protocerebrum, at the base of the medulla (Kolodziejczyk et al., 2011). It arborizes in the ipsilateral medulla and in the mediolateral and dorsolateral protocerebrum (Kolodziejczyk et al., 2011). There are three of these cells per hemisphere (Kolodziejczyk et al., 2011; Min et al., 2016). At least one per hemisphere has wide-field tangential arborizations in a layer just distal to the lamina synaptic neuropil (Kolodziejczyk et al., 2011).[ FlyBase:FBrf0212940 FlyBase:FBrf0231362 ]
Also Known As "adult lateral MIP-immunoreactive optic lobe neuron" ; "adult LMIo Mip neuron" ; "adult optic lobe myoinhibitory peptide neuron" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
Comment Kolodziejczyk et al. (2011) find three immunoreactive neurons, but could not determine whether all have distal lamina arbors. Not sexually dimorphic and do not produce serotonin, PDF, ITP, octopamine/tyramine or dopamine and distinct from clock neurons (Kolodziejczyk et al., 2011).
