ER4m [FBbt_00007537]
Ring neuron R4 whose arborization in the ellipsoid body fills most of the ellipsoid body outer central domain, except for the region occupied by R4d terminals (Renn et al., 1999; Omoto et al., 2018). It has dendrites in the anterior bulb (Omoto et al., 2018). It responds to temperature increases and mediates thermoresponsive behavior (Buhl et al., 2021). It activity decreases the amount of nighttime sleep (Yan et al., 2023).

Adult GABAergic Thermosensory system lineage EBa1 DALv2 secondary neuron
Ring neuron R4 whose arborization in the ellipsoid body fills most of the ellipsoid body outer central domain, except for the region occupied by R4d terminals (Renn et al., 1999; Omoto et al., 2018). It has dendrites in the anterior bulb (Omoto et al., 2018). It responds to temperature increases and mediates thermoresponsive behavior (Buhl et al., 2021). It activity decreases the amount of nighttime sleep (Yan et al., 2023).
This most likely corresponds to the R4 neuron identified by Hanesch et al. (1989) (Omoto et al., 2018).
