T neuron T3 [FBbt_00003730]
Wide-field T neuron whose soma sits in the cortex adjacent to the gap between the medulla and lobula plate. Its cell body fiber project through this gap before branching in the second optic chiasm, with one branch forming a bushy, fine, terminal arborization in medulla layer M9 and the other forming 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. The glutamate neurotransmitter was assessed by labelling cells with a vGlut[CNSIII]-GAL4 driver [FBti0129148] (Raghu and Borst, 2011). The GABA neurotransmitter was assessed by the intersection of the expression of the VGAT-GAL4 driver (FBtp0069181) and an antibody against GABA (Raghu et al., 2013). Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation judged by scoring of terminal morphology from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich (1989) as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB.
