So bubbly! Do we have a name for these type of structures/neuron ends?

The first of this type of cell ive seen, so far - i couldnt really figure out which it is, the closest I found was a Tm28, but that doesnt split near the bottom. Is there such a thing as a TmY28? (also, it sort of looks like me slouching at my desk all day in this screenshot ;P)

That’s funny, because I have almost identical cell. I’ve triple checked, to see, if we’re working on the same cell

Yours is yellow, mine - pink.

Yup, you’re right to think it’s a TmY type cell. It’s very close to a TmY9 from the Fischbach paper. The Y part references that it splits like that at the bottom into the lobula and the lobula plate.

Here are a bunch of its friends (I put yours in in yellow so you can compare ): FlyWire

(And yeah, I’m guilty of this posture too… sitting up straight as I type now )

Ah yup, TmY9 looks like the one indeed, not sure how i skimmed past that one. Awesome, ty

Wooo looks like two humans litterally cuddling

Hence the name of the image (pair.png)

Kfay · May 18, 2022, 2:01pm

I wanted my own one

Wouldn’t it be cool, if we’d breathe through our brains?

Another big and beautiful cell. Also started with a very small (2 boutons) fragment.

With cells like that, I’m very happy, we don’t have to check each and every tiny branch (especially in the middle bush)
I’m also astounded with the AI (and people who wrote it) and its ability to trace such complicated shapes.

Also, if you measure it, it’s about 1mm wide!
