MeLo8

ID: FBbt_20007239

Adult medulla-lobula neuron of the MeLo8 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, medulla layer M10, lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 22 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets (Matsliah et al., 2025; 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. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
