Adult Nervous system Synaptic neuropil subdomain Visual system
Fifth most lateral layer of the medulla. It is defined by the lamina neuron L1's proximal arborization and contains the proximal lamina neuron L5 terminal (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989. (Takemura et al., 2008, Ito et al., 2014, Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989)
In the literature there are two methods for describing spatial location of neurons in the visual system: distal-proximal (e.g. Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989, and medial-lateral (e.g. Ito et al., 2014, both meaning outer and inner, and refer to the distance of a structure along the visual pathway relative to the center of the brain. Currently we will adopt the classical 'distal-proximal'.
