aMe15 [FBbt_00053475]

Adult bilateral visual projection neuron that receives input in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum and accessory medulla, the anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and clamp of both hemispheres and the contralateral superior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral superior lateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and superior and inferior clamp (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
