General Information
Term transmedullary neuron Tm7 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003795 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Transmedullary wide-field neuron that terminates in lobula layer 5 with both fine and bleb-type arborizations. It has fine arborizations in medulla layers M3, M4, M6 and M8, and bleb-type arborizations in layer M6 (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989; Morante and Desplan, 2008). It is a cholinergic neuron (Varija Raghu et al., 2011).[ FlyBase:FBrf0049410 FlyBase:FBrf0204652 FlyBase:FBrf0212356 ]
Also Known As"Tm7"
CommentThe neurotransmitter was assessed by co-labelling cells with a Cha-GAL4.7.4 driver (FBtp0014830) and an anti-ChAT antibody (Varija Raghu et al., 2011). The identification of axons was done using a UAS-tau (P\{UAS-tau-lacZ.O\} - FBtp0010033) reporter (Morante and Desplan, 2008). The morphology of terminals was judged from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich (1989) as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB.
