expresses receives synaptic input from neuron sends synaptic output to cell DIP-gamma distal medullary amacrine neuron Dm8 distal medullary amacrine neuron Dm8a 2026-04-20T10:12:34Z https://github.com/FlyBase/drosophila-anatomy-developmental-ontology/issues/2181 Subtype of Dm8 that receives input mainly from yellow, rather than pale, R7 photoreceptor cells and sends output mainly to Tm5a, rather than Tm5b, neurons (Nern et al., 2025). It expresses the surface protein DIP-gamma (Carrillo et al., 2015; Courgeon and Desplan, 2019).
