Cm3 [FBbt_20011379]

Adult central medulla intrinsic neuron of the Cm3 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M6 and medulla serpentine layer (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 160 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
