Definition

Hindbrain interneuron that is located in the caudal hindbrain. The T interneurons are reticular neurons named after the branching pattern of their axons. The T axons project across the midline, and branches course both rostrally and caudally within the medial longitudinal fascicle (mlf). The cells receive synaptic input from the Mauthner neurons, from unidentified axons in the mlf, and perhaps from trigeminal sensory fibers. They project to cranial and pectoral motor nuclei.
