General Information
Term adult inner optic chiasma giant glial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00100527 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Large glial cell of the inner optic chiasm of the adult optic lobe, between the proximal medulla and lobula complex. It extends many cytoplasmic processes that enwrap fiber bundles at and near the sites of axonal intersection (Tix et al., 1997). These cells have an elongated sheet-like morphology and they send long projections into the three neighboring neuropil regions (Kremer et al., 2017). There are around 40 inner optic chiasma glial cells per optic lobe (Kremer et al., 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0096428 FlyBase:FBrf0234767 ]
Also Known As "adult inner optic chiasm giant glial cell" ; "adult inner optic chiasm large glial cell" ; "XGI"
Comment Kremer et al. (2017) expression and morphological analysis suggests that these are synaptic neuropil ensheathing glia - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1373-1705.
