Adult Nervous system Neuron
Adult small-field columnar neuron that connects any two regions of the fan-shaped body and has its arbors mostly restricted to the fan-shaped body (Hanesch et al., 1989; Hulse et al., 2021).
Original reference (Hanesch et al., 1989) did not limit the definition to FB neurons, but only FB neurons were described and now 'pontine neuron' is used to refer only to FB neurons (Bayraktar et al., 2010; Andrade et al., 2019). A couple of types have a small amount of arborization outside of the FB, meaning that these are not all strictly intrinsic (Scheffer et al., 2020; Hulse et al., 2021).
