MeVP31 [FBbt_20007630]

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP31 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, superior lateral protocerebrum and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
