embryonic anterior midline glial cell [FBbt_00052516]

Embryonic midline glial cell found in an anterior position in the neuromere (Wheeler et al., 2006). At least six of these cells are generated in the embryo, but only three survive to become mature glia in the larva, with the remainder being removed by apoptosis (Dong and Jacobs, 1997; Wheeler et al., 2006).
