MeVP61 [FBbt_20007645]

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP61 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8 and superior posterior slope, and the inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer, gorget and superior posterior slope, and the inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
