PFR [FBbt_00051255]

Small field neuron of the central complex with dendritic arbors in a single glomerulus of the protocerebral bridge (PB), mixed terminals in layers 3, 4 and 5 of a fan-shaped body column, and presynaptic or mixed terminals in the round body (Lin et al., 2013; Wolff et al., 2015; Wolff and Rubin, 2018; Hulse et al., 2021). It develops from one of the four central complex neuroblasts (Sullivan et al., 2019). These cells are found in PB glomeruli 1-8, but not 9 (Wolff et al., 2015; Hulse et al., 2021). There are two subtypes, one that has a phase shift in connectivity between PB glomeruli and FB columns and one that does not (Hulse et al., 2021).
