MeVC26 [FBbt_20007306]

Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma posterior to the protocerebral bridge (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It belongs to the DM1 posterior hemilineage (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024. Its inputs are mainly in the gnathal ganglion, and the inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It projects to the optic lobe, where it passes between the lobula and medulla, then arborizes in both of these near the second optic chiasm (Nern et al., 2025. It is mainly presynaptic in both medulla layer M10 and lobula layer 1, spanning around 50 columns of each (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.

(Dorkenwald et al., 2024, Eckstein et al., 2024)

Cell type from Schlegel et al., 2024, based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024, identified at light level by Nern et al., 2025. Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
