Medulla intrinsic neuron mi15
FBbt:00111285
Medulla intrinsic unicolumnar neuron whose primary neurite splits in the M1 layer, sending vertical branches as far as the M7 layer (Takemura et al., 2013; Takemura et al., 2015; Kind et al., 2021). A process also extends from the distal medulla into the first optic chiasma, where it receives around half of its photoreceptor input (Kind et al., 2021). In central columns, these cells selectively receive input from R8, rather than R7 photoreceptors, but selectivity is not maintained in Mi15 cells of the dorsal rim area (Kind et al., 2021). It seems to be both cholinergic and dopaminergic (Davis et al., 2020).
