MeLo10 [FBbt_20007249]

Adult medulla-lobula neuron of the MeLo10 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4 and lobula layer 5A (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, lobula layer 3 and lobula layer 4 (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 28 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
