Adult visual projection neuron that receives input in around 80 columns of medulla layers M6-M7, where it has a wide tangential arbor, and the accessory medulla (Nern et al., 2025). It also has outputs in the medulla (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain it has pre- and post-synapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp and superior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are around 3 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Found in 3 EM datasets. Some cross the midline, but others do not.
