TmY14

ID: FBbt_00111286

Transmedullary Y wide-field neuron that terminates in the lobula and lobula plate (Takemura et al., 2013). It displays fine arborizations in medulla layers M3-M5 and M8-M10 (Takemura et al., 2013). Some of these cells have an axon that projects to the central brain, an unusual feature in TmY neurons (Takemura et al., 2013; Shinomiya et al., 2019; Matsliah et al., 2024), but this axon has very few synapses (Matsliah et al., 2024). It is glutamatergic (Konstantinides et al., 2022).

Matsliah et al. (2024) identify 'typical' TmY14 that have central brain axon and 'atypical' that do not in FAFB. Unclear if 'atypical' exist in other brains.
