lower tectulum
ID: FBbt_00047174
Adult Nervous system Synaptic neuropil domain
Ventralmost layer of the tectulum that extends posteriorly from the prothoracic medial ventral association center to the posterior margin of the mesothoracic neuromere at the commissure of fine fibers (Court et al., 2020. It is bordered ventrally by the ventral median tract of ventral cervical fasciculus and laterally by the dorsal lateral tract of ventral cervical fasciculus (Court et al., 2020. (Court et al., 2020)
The neuropil referred to as ovoid in Namiki et al., 2018 supplementary file 1 has an identical innervation profile to lower tectulum in Figure 5, so I have added this as a synonym - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1373-1705.
