General Information
Term Rh6 photoreceptor of Bolwig organ ID (Ontology) FBbt:00100112 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Cholinergic photoreceptor cell of the larval Bolwig's organ expressing the green-absorbing opsin Rh6 (lambda[max] = 508nm; FBgn0019940). Fibers pass along the Bolwig nerve and terminate in the distal larval optic neuropil (Larderet et al., 2017). Their projections in the larval optic neuropil have been shown to overlap with, and influence the development of, serotonergic arborizations (Rodriguez Moncalvo and Campos, 2005), and to overlap with the dendrites of pacemaker lateral neurons (LNs) (Keene et al., 2011; Mazzoni et al., 2005). It dies by programmed cell death during pupal development (Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022). There are approximately 8 of these per Bolwig organ (Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022).[ FlyBase:FBrf0144829 FlyBase:FBrf0184213 FlyBase:FBrf0190156 FlyBase:FBrf0213587 FlyBase:FBrf0237760 FlyBase:FBrf0255165 ]
Also Known As "Rh6 photoreceptor of Bolwig's organ" ; "Rh6-expressing photoreceptor of Bolwig organ"
Comment Rodriguez Moncalvo and Campos (2005), show that genetic ablation or synaptic silencing of the Rh6 photoreceptor of Bolwig organ prevents the wildtype development of overlapping serotonergic arborizations. Neurotransmitter type was assessed in two ways: by double labelling of cells with an acetylcholine GAL4 driver (FBtp0014830) and a Rh6 antibody; by double labelling cells with drivers for Rh6 (FBtp0014226) and an acetylcholine antibody (Keene et al., 2011).
