| Term | posterior optic commissure | ID (Ontology) | FBbt:00007427 (Fly Anatomy) | ||||||||
| Definition | A large midline-crossing commissure that emerges from the serpentine layer of the medulla and connects the medulla of each brain hemisphere, passing dorsal to the esophageal foramen (Helfrich-Forster and Homberg, 1993; Ito et al., 2014). It demarcates the boundaries of the posterior lateral protocerebrum (posterior-inferior region), superior posterior slope (posterior-inferior region) and inferior posterior slope (posterior-superior region) (Ito et al., 2014).[ FlyBase:FBrf0065419 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 FlyBase:FBrf0239233 FlyBase:FBrf0239234 ] | ||||||||||
| Also Known As | "POC" ; "posterior optic tract" ; "POT" | ||||||||||
| Comment | The posterior optic commissure corresponds to the posterior optic tract. The name has been changed to reflect the fact that the tract connects both hemispheres (Ito et al., 2014). | ||||||||||
