MeVP22 [FBbt_20007623]

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP22 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8 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 GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
