Adult Nervous system Synaptic neuropil subdomain Visual system
Distal-most layer of the medulla. It is defined by the distal extent of the distal lamina monopolar neuron L1 arborization (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989. (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989, Takemura et al., 2008, Ito et al., 2014)
In the literature there are two methods for describing spatial location of neurons in the visual system: distal-proximal (e.g. Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989, and medial-lateral (e.g. Ito et al., 2014, both meaning outer and inner, and refer to the distance of a structure along the visual pathway relative to the center of the brain. Currently we will adopt the classical 'distal-proximal'.
