MeVP1 [FBbt_20011485]

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP1 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 59 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
