MeVP17 [FBbt_20007617]

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP17 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 7 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
