aMe12
ID: FBbt_00049823
Visual projection neuron that has a characteristic wide-field dendritic arborization pattern in the medulla with vertical extensions selectively innervating the optic columns of pale ommatidia (Kind et al., 2021). It also receives input in the accessory medulla, which is near its soma (Li et al., 2020; Kind et al., 2021). It projects to the posterior lateral protocerebrum, mushroom body ventral accessory calyx, and superior clamp in both hemispheres (Li et al., 2020; Kind et al., 2021). There are approximately three of these cells per hemisphere and they tend not to innervate the same medulla columns as one another (Kind et al., 2021). (Kind et al., 2021, Li et al., 2020)
