adult patchy antennal lobe local neuron

ID: FBbt_00049646

Local (intrinsic) neuron of the adult antennal lobe that innervates patchy (discontinuous) regions of the antennal lobe (Chou et al., 2010; Coates et al., 2020). Before innervating a given glomerulus, patchy local neurons have long, highly looping processes that lack synapses (Coates et al., 2020). Once within a glomerulus, it branches extensively within a subregion of a glomerulus and produces many pre- and postsynaptic sites (Coates et al., 2020). These cells tend not to have clear axonal and dendritic compartments (Schlegel et al., 2021).
