General Information
Term alpha/beta core Kenyon cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00110929 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Alpha/beta mushroom body neuron that has dendrites in the main calyx, with its axons occupying the core layer of the peduncle, alpha and beta lobes (Strausfeld et al., 2003; Tanaka et al., 2008). They can be subdivided into inner and outer core cells (Tanaka et al., 2008; Takemura et al., 2017). There are around 400 of these neurons in each hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Takemura et al., 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0162233 FlyBase:FBrf0174482 FlyBase:FBrf0205263 FlyBase:FBrf0227179 FlyBase:FBrf0236382 ]
Also Known As"alpha/beta c KC" ; "alpha/beta c Kenyon cell" ; "alpha/beta core KC" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
CommentLi et al. (2020) only class ~ 250 cells as alpha/beta core, these may correspond to the inner core group.
