MeVC12 [FBbt_20007299]

Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma dorsal to the antler (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the DM1 posterior hemilineage (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its main input region is the gnathal ganglion and it sends output to the contralateral medulla in layers M2-M4 and M10 across around 20 columns (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Cholinergic lineage DM1 DPMm1

Cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
