MeVP18 [FBbt_20007622]

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP18 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and wedge (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and wedge (Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 3 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
