Centrifugal neuron c3
FBbt:00003744
Adult centrifugal neuron with arborizations in medulla layers M1-2, M5, and M9-10 and more restricted arborizations in the lamina (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989; Kind et al., 2021). It forms presynapses and postsynapses in the lamina (Morante and Desplan, 2008; Rivera-Alba et al., 2011). In the medulla it is strongly presynaptic to monopolar lamina neuron L2 and columnar neuron T1, and strongly postsynaptic to L1 (Takemura et al., 2013). It is GABAergic (Fei et al., 2010). There is usually one of these cells per optic column (Nern et al., 2025).
