adult subretinal glial cell [FBbt_00004210]

Glial cell belonging to either of the two layers of the perineurium in the adult optic lobe (Edwards and Meinertzhagen, 2010; Kremer et al., 2017). They are found between the retina and the cell body rind of the lamina and enwrap the entrance points of the photoreceptor axon bundles (Kremer et al., 2017).

Adult Glial cell Nervous system Visual system

Glial cell belonging to either of the two layers of the perineurium in the adult optic lobe (Edwards and Meinertzhagen, 2010; Kremer et al., 2017). They are found between the retina and the cell body rind of the lamina and enwrap the entrance points of the photoreceptor axon bundles (Kremer et al., 2017).

DISAMBIGUATION: Edwards and Meinertzhagen (2010) argue that the larval subretinal glia are a different cell group to the adult subretinal glial cells, linked only by name. They propose the abolition of the term 'subretinal glial cell' in favour of 2 distinct classes - fenestrated and pseudocartridge glial cells.
