aMe22 [FBbt_00053481]

Adult unilateral visual centrifugal neuron that has most of its input and output in the posterior lateral protocerebrum and accessory medulla (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be glutamatergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
