MeVC2
ID: FBbt_20001878
Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma near to the antler (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It belongs to the DM1 posterior hemilineage (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024. Its main input regions are the ipsilateral superior posterior slope and inferior bridge (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It projects to the contralateral medulla and sends output to over 100 columns of layer M7 (Nern et al., 2025. Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025. There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025. (Eckstein et al., 2024, Dorkenwald et al., 2024)
Cell type based on Hemibrain data (Scheffer et al., 2020, updated using FlyWire (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024 and identified at light level by Nern et al., 2025. Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
