input/output neuron

ID: FBbt_00053396

An interneuron that has distinct dendritic and axonal branches that arborize in different neuropil regions. These neurons relay information between different parts of the central nervous system.

Includes neurons with axonal and dendritic arbors in the same region if there is another branch that extends elsewhere (Frechter et al., 2019). Excludes neurons that only have a 'local' innervation pattern, where both inputs/outputs may be present on arbors that span neuropil boundaries.
