medulla
ID: FBbt_00003748
Adult Nervous system Synaptic neuropil domain Visual system
The second optic neuropil, sandwiched between the lamina and the lobula complex. It is divided into 10 layers: 1-6 make up the outer (distal) medulla, the seventh (or serpentine) layer exhibits a distinct architecture and layers 8-10 make up the inner (proximal) medulla (Ito et al., 2014).
Nern et al. (2025) - FBrf0262545 say distal is M1-5 and M6-7 is central medulla.
