ID: FBbt_20007279

Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma medial to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It extends multiple branches into ipsilateral lobula layer 6, spanning around 100 columns, where it has mainly presynaptic terminals (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it receives input in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior posterior slope, and inferior clamp (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 2 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), matched across datasets and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
