pedunculus divide of adult mushroom body

Adult Nervous system Synaptic neuropil subdomain
The anterior end of the pedunculus of the adult mushroom body, where the Kenyon cell fibers bifurcate to project to the vertical and medial lobes. (Ito et al., 2014)
Considering that the Kenyon cell fiber projecting from the calyx divide rather than meet at this point, the term 'pedunculus junction' is somewhat misleading. Similarly, to prevent ambiguity, the terms 'heel' and 'knee' have been avoided as they are also used for referring to the mushroom body spur.
