Mt11 [FBbt_00003847]

Medulla tangential neuron that enters the medulla via Cuccatti’s bundle at the level of the serpentine layer. It shows bleb-like terminals in the serpentine layer and medulla layer M6 and covers almost the whole visual field. It seems capable of both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission.

Adult GABAergic Glutamatergic Nervous system

Medulla tangential neuron that enters the medulla via Cuccatti's bundle at the level of the serpentine layer. It shows bleb-like terminals in the serpentine layer and medulla layer M6 and covers almost the whole visual field. It seems capable of both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission.

The glutamate neurotransmitter was assessed by labelling cells with a vGlut[CNSIII]-GAL4 driver (FBti0129148) (Raghu and Borst, 2011). The GABAergic neurotransmitter was assessed by the intersection of the expression of the VGAT-GAL4 driver (FBtp0069181) and an antibody against GABA (Raghu et al., 2013). Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation judged by scoring of terminal morphology from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich (1989) as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB.
