MeVP52

ID: FBbt_20007644

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP52 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M4, medulla layer M5, medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum and superior clamp (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla layer M5, medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, superior lateral protocerebrum, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp and inferior clamp (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).

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.
