T3 neuron
FBbt:00003730
T neuron with its soma posteriorly adjacent to the gap between the medulla and lobula plate and a cell body fiber that projects along the proximal surface of the medulla before branching in the second optic chiasm (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989; Shinomiya et al., 2019). One branch forms a bushy, fine, terminal arborization in medulla layer M9 and the other forms a terminal arborization in lobula layers 2 and 3 with mix of bleb-type and fine terminal branches (Morante and Desplan, 2008; Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989). It seems to be capable of both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission.
