General Information
Term adult lateral ellipsoid fascicle ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003667 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition A transverse tract within the protocerebrum of the adult brain that is connected to the inferior medial/lateral protocerebrum and the central complex (Strausfeld, 1976; Lovick et al., 2013). It passes ventral to the mushroom body medial lobe (Lovick et al., 2013). It connects the bulb and the fan-shaped body (Ito et al., 2014). It has an anterior component, contributed to by the DALv2/3 and DALcl2 lineages, and a posterior component, containing fibers of BAmv1 neurons entering via the medial ventral longitudinal fascicle (Lovick et al., 2013).[ FlyBase:FBrf0224194 FlyBase:FBrf0239233 FlyBase:FBrf0239234 FlyBase:FBrf0240929 ]
