General Information
Term ellipsoid body layer ID (Ontology) FBbt:00040034 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition A concentric subdivision of the ellipsoid body resulting from the arborization patterns of the ring neurons (FBbt:00003649).[ FlyBase:FBrf0049409 FlyBase:FBrf0111476 FlyBase:FBrf0221742 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 FlyBase:FBrf0240929 ]
Also Known As "ellipsoid body domain" ; "layer of ellipsoid body"
Comment Nomenclature for the layers is not consistent. Layers have been updated to correspond to Omoto et al. (2018), who claim to have a mostly complete map of R-neuron arborizations and provide mappings to previous terminology - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1373-1705.
