General Information
Term medulla tangential neuron Mt11 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003847 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Medulla tangential neuron that enters the medulla via Cuccatti's bundle at the level of the serpentine layer. It shows bleb-like terminals in the serpentine layer and medulla layer M6 and covers almost the whole visual field. It seems capable of both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission.[ FlyBase:FBrf0049410 FlyBase:FBrf0213690 FlyBase:FBrf0220286 ]
Also Known As "medullary tangential neuron Mt11" ; "Mt11"
Comment The glutamate neurotransmitter was assessed by labelling cells with a vGlut[CNSIII]-GAL4 driver (FBti0129148) (Raghu and Borst, 2011). The GABAergic neurotransmitter was assessed by the intersection of the expression of the VGAT-GAL4 driver (FBtp0069181) and an antibody against GABA (Raghu et al., 2013). Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation judged by scoring of terminal morphology from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich (1989) as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB.
