TmY5a [FBbt_00003823]

Transmedullary Y narrow field neuron that terminates with both fine and bleb-type arborizations in lobula layers 4, 5 and 6, and in lobula plate layer 3, but only has fine arborizations in lobula plate layer 1. It displays both fine and bleb-type arborizations in medulla layers M6 and M8, and has fine arborizations in medulla layers M2, M3, M4, M5 and M9 (Morante and Desplan, 2008; Fischbach and Dittrich (1989). It is glutamatergic (Davis et al., 2020).

Adult Glutamatergic Nervous system Visual system secondary neuron

Transmedullary Y narrow field neuron that terminates with both fine and bleb-type arborizations in lobula layers 4, 5 and 6, and in lobula plate layer 3, but only has fine arborizations in lobula plate layer 1. It displays both fine and bleb-type arborizations in medulla layers M6 and M8, and has fine arborizations in medulla layers M2, M3, M4, M5 and M9 (Morante and Desplan, 2008; Fischbach and Dittrich (1989). It is glutamatergic (Davis et al., 2020).

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.
