MeVC27 [FBbt_20007296]

Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma near to the antler (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the SMPp&v1 ventral hemilineage (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). The majority of its input and output synapses are in the contralateral medulla layer M7, spanning around 50 columns, with a small amount of additional input in the central brain (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 3 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Neuron Visual system lineage SMPp&v1 DPLc5

Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma near to the antler (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the SMPp&v1 ventral hemilineage (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). The majority of its input and output synapses are in the contralateral medulla layer M7, spanning around 50 columns, with a small amount of additional input in the central brain (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 3 of these cells per hemisphere (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), identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
