MeVC3

ID: FBbt_20001889

Adult medulla visual centrifugal neuron of the MeVC3 group (Nern et al., 2025. It belongs to the DM1 posterior hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025. It receives input in the ipsilateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center, superior medial protocerebrum, vest, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp, antler, superior posterior slope and cantle, the contralateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, superior medial protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp, antler, superior posterior slope and cantle, and the inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025. It sends output to the ipsilateral superior medial protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp and superior posterior slope, the contralateral medulla layer M3, medulla layer M4, medulla layer M5, medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, inferior clamp and superior posterior slope, and the inferior bridge (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 identified in multiple EM datasets (Scheffer et al., 2020; 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. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al., 2025 supplements.
