General Information
Term gamma Kenyon cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00100247 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Mushroom body neuron that innervates the mushroom body vertical and medial lobes in the larva, but is pruned back during early pupal stages to innervate only the gamma lobe in the adult (Lee et al., 1999; Awasaki and Ito, 2004; Awasaki et al., 2006; Truman et al., 2023). The gamma neurons are the first born of the Kenyon cells, generated during embryonic and early larval stages (Lee et al., 1999).[ FlyBase:FBrf0111409 FlyBase:FBrf0174492 FlyBase:FBrf0192438 FlyBase:FBrf0205263 FlyBase:FBrf0214059 FlyBase:FBrf0227179 FlyBase:FBrf0255928 ]
Also Known As "gamma KC" ; "gamma neuron" ; "KCg" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
