Dm2
ID: FBbt_00003769
Distal medullary wide-field amacrine neuron whose cell body is located in the cell body rind of the medulla. It terminates with a small bushy arbor with mixed terminal morphology in layers M3-M6B. The arbors in M6B extend into neighboring columns on the dorsal side. The small arbors cover 2 columns in M6 and one in the other layers. It is cholinergic (Konstantinides et al., 2022. (Kind et al., 2021, Morante and Desplan, 2008, Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989, Takemura et al., 2013, Nern et al., 2015, Konstantinides et al., 2022)
Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation judged by scoring of terminal morphology from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989 as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB.
