MeVP51

ID: FBbt_20007652

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP51 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M1, medulla layer M2, medulla layer M3, medulla layer M4, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, medulla layer M10, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla layer M1, medulla layer M2, medulla layer M8, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp and wedge (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
