ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00003668 (Fly Anatomy) |
Definition |
A handle bar-shaped synaptic neuropil located just posterior to the fan-shaped body. Its lateral edge ends at the posterior end of the inferior clamp (ICL) near the medial equatorial fascicle (MEF). A row of 18 connected slices (9 on each side of the midline, numbered 1-9 from medial to lateral) that forms a dorso-posteriorly located part of the central complex embedded in the cortex between the calyces of the two mushroom bodies.[ FlyBase:FBrf0049409 FlyBase:FBrf0205148 FlyBase:FBrf0213955 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 FlyBase:FBrf0227801 ] |

"PB" ; "PCB" |
Comment |
The identification of the most medial slice (slice 1) by Wolff et al. (2015) meant that the domain that was previously called slice 1 corresponds in fact to slice 2. Each of the two neighboring slices (2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9) are associated more closely because small-field columnar neurons innervate the fan-shaped body via the protocerebral bridge, and these neurons are generated by the same neuroblasts, forming four groups on each side of the midline, from lateral to medial: segment pair W, X, Y and Z (Boyan and Williams et al., 2011; Ito and Awasaki, 2008). |
