MeVPMe4

ID: FBbt_20007607

Adult medulla-contralateral medulla neuron of the MeVPMe4 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M5, medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer and medulla layer M8, and the contralateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, posterior lateral protocerebrum and superior posterior slope (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral optic lobe, the contralateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp, accessory medulla and superior posterior slope, and the inferior bridge (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.
