adult medulla-contralateral medulla neuron MeVPMe7

ID: FBbt_20003958

Adult medulla-contralateral medulla neuron of the MeVPMe7 group (Nern et al., 2025). It belongs to the VPNl&d1 lateral hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M5, medulla layer M6 and medulla serpentine layer, and the contralateral medulla layer M6 and medulla serpentine layer (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla layer M6 and medulla serpentine layer, and the contralateral medulla layer M6 and medulla serpentine layer (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. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
