ID: FBbt_20007655

Adult medulla-contralateral accessory medulla neuron of the MeVPaMe1 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, superior medial protocerebrum, lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum and accessory medulla, and the contralateral superior medial protocerebrum, lobula layer 6 and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, superior medial protocerebrum, lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp and inferior clamp, and the contralateral superior medial protocerebrum, lobula layer 6, 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.
