General Information

Term

gorget

ID (Ontology)

FBbt:00040039 (Fly Anatomy)

Definition

A thin plate-like, bilaterally paired synaptic neuropil domain that protrudes medially from below the inferior clamp to the area between the great commissure and the central body. Its medial tip extends towards the noduli.[ FlyBase:FBrf0193607 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 ]

Also Known As

"GOR" ; "supracommissural VMC" ; "VMCs"

Comment

The name gorget is taken from the name for a steel collar used to protect one's throat. The position of the gorget corresponds to the throat if the vest and epaulette are respectively taken to be body and shoulders. The gorget corresponds to part of the inferior region of the vmpr of Otsuna and Ito (2006) and to the supracommissural ventromedial cerebrum (Ito et al., 2014).
