cM09 [FBbt_20007302]

Adult visual centrifugal neuron of the cM09 (aMe30) group, with its soma in the brain, ventral-lateral to the lateral horn (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It remains ipsilateral, with its postsynapses in the medulla, lobula and posterior lateral protocerebrum, and its presynapses in the medulla, lobula and accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 3-4 of these cells per hemisphere (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Glutamatergic Nervous system Visual system

Adult visual centrifugal neuron of the cM09 (aMe30) group, with its soma in the brain, ventral-lateral to the lateral horn (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It remains ipsilateral, with its postsynapses in the medulla, lobula and posterior lateral protocerebrum, and its presynapses in the medulla, lobula and accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 3-4 of these cells per hemisphere (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), matched across datasets and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location based on the closest annotated neuropil region and pre- or post-synapse locations are the fewest regions that collectively contain at least 80 percent of all pre- or post-synapses of these neurons in FlyWire.
