medulla [FBbt_00003748]
The second optic neuropil, sandwiched between the lamina and the lobula complex. It is divided into 10 layers: 1-6 make up the outer (distal) medulla, the seventh (or serpentine) layer exhibits a distinct architecture and layers 8-10 make up the inner (proximal) medulla (Ito et al., 2014).
