ID: FBbt_20007659

Adult visual projection neuron with its soma ventral to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives input mainly in medulla layers M3 and M7, in around 10 columns (Nern et al., 2025). It remains ipsilateral and sends output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 30 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

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. MTe50 mapped to ML-VPN1 in Bates et al. (2025) - doi:10.1101/2025.07.31.667571, but cell numbers do not match.
