ID: FBbt_00003921
Adult Nervous system Neuron projection bundle Visual system
The projection of axons between the lamina and medulla (first optic chiasma) or between the medulla and lobula (second optic chiasma). The linear order of axons along each horizontal row of retinotopic cartridges or columns is reversed by the chiasma. (Ito et al., 2014)
