The ones with the axon were C cells. The purple one isn’t a C cell, because it has its CB in a wrong place. It also isn’t a T4, because they have their soma neurite go through the LP and the CB itself should be in the LP cortex. It might be a Tm cell.
Need some help both IDing and proofing a cell, because it was marked as complete before I added to it, and I’m not 100% that there’s not a weird misalignment situation going on here - but knowing the overall structure I am supposed to be looking at would help.
I’m not sure about it, but I think, the thinner trace might be an LPi cell and the thicker is missing its soma. Because it goes deeper into the central brain, it might not exist in the Fischbach’s paper.
I’m still searching through some papers for these cells, but the thicker cell is putatively a LC-type (lobula columnar cell; maybe LC10d?): FlyWire (I’ve hidden an orange completed friend cell for reference).
The thin one is a lobula cell (could be lobula intrinsic (Li)? not sure). There are bunch of similar completed friends (hidden in the link; yellow is a little bit different and has a separate axonal cluster): FlyWire
Judging by its location, it’s probably a Dm (unless it has some missing extensions, but I didn’t find anything). Maybe an underdeveloped Dm4? That type has some twirly branches, just like yours.
Found a couple more extensions. Havent merged in case im wrong. FlyWire where the annotation is there’s a misalignment i cant get past, may nub out may continue idk.
i’ve completed cells like these before, if it wasnt for the fact that they are missing the ‘umbrella’ like boutons at the end of the axonal stems theyd look a lot like LAWFs, they may be and be missing the final boutons, didn’t check at the end of the axons. But, in the past ive completed 2-3 of what i thought originally would be LAWFs but they ended up having a singular bouton at the end of the axon vs the umbrella like or grape like structure. Idk maybe theyre one of the cells we dont have examples/pictures of in the gsheet tab? Or a new cell type/subtype not recorded in Fischbach?
EDIT: Checked both axons end in singular boutons, the one on the left is missing a segment but then end of bouton is outside of the tracable dataset.
yes, Lawf are the closest ones with the CB being somewhere in the middle of the cell. But they usually have much more synaptic terminals at both ends. Maybe that’s how they look like, when they are near the edge of the medulla.
