ocellar ganglion [FBbt_00049817]
Detached ganglion that sits below an ocellus and contains the axonal projections of its photoreceptors (Caldwell et al., 2007; Scheffer et al., 2020). Four giant ocellar interneurons connect each ganglion to the posterior slope via the ocellar nerve (Caldwell et al., 2007; Ito et al., 2014). The three ganglia in each head are separated by glia (Dorkenwald et al., 2024).
