aMe24 [FBbt_00053482]

Adult interneuron that receives input in around 20 columns of lobula layer 6 (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain it has pre- and post-synapses in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum and in the superior medial protocerebrum of both hemispheres (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
