aMe9
ID: FBbt_00053492
Adult bilateral visual projection neuron that receives input in around 30-40 columns of the ipsilateral medulla layers M6-M7 and has pre- and post-synapses in the contralateral accessory medulla (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it sends output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum of both hemispheres (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are around 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
Found in 3 EM datasets and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025).
