It has a single major projection that projects along one optic cartridge in the lamina, crosses the first optic chiasm and terminates in the same cartridge in the medulla (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989). fly_anatomy.ontology optic cartridge first optic chiasma optic lobe intrinsic columnar neuron immature lamina monopolar neuron cell body rind of adult lamina optic lobe narrow field columnar neuron
