Adult unilateral medulla intrinsic neuron with its soma ventral to the medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It spans around 50 columns, having postsynapses and a smaller number of presynapses in layers M1-2 and M3-4 (Nern et al., 2025). It also receives a small amount of input in layers M7-M8 (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 30 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
