MeVP16 [FBbt_20007618]

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP16 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, posterior lateral protocerebrum and inferior clamp (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp and inferior clamp (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 4 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
