MeVP3 [FBbt_20005420]

Adult visual projection neuron with its soma ventral to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives input in around 50 columns of medulla layer M8 (Nern et al., 2025). Though it has a projection to the ipsilateral central brain, most of its output is also in medulla layer M8 (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 are approximately 30 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Cholinergic Nervous system Visual system

Adult visual projection neuron with its soma ventral to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives input in around 50 columns of medulla layer M8 (Nern et al., 2025). Though it has a projection to the ipsilateral central brain, most of its output is also in medulla layer M8 (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 are approximately 30 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.
