Dm2 [FBbt_00003769]
Distal medullary wide-field amacrine neuron whose cell body is located in the cell body rind of the medulla. It terminates with a small bushy arbor with mixed terminal morphology in layers M3-M6B. The arbors in M6B extend into neighboring columns on the dorsal side. The small arbors cover 2 columns in M6 and one in the other layers. It is cholinergic (Konstantinides et al., 2022).
