MeVC4a [FBbt_20001885]
MeVC4a
ID: FBbt_20001885
Adult medulla visual centrifugal neuron of the MeVC4a group (Nern et al., 2025. It belongs to the DM1 posterior hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025. It receives input in the ipsilateral gorget, vest, inferior clamp, superior posterior slope and cantle, the contralateral medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, gorget, vest, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope, flange and cantle, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge and saddle (Nern et al., 2025. It sends output to the contralateral medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8 and medulla layer M9 (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.
