MeVP28 [FBbt_20007636]

Adult unilateral visual projection neuron with its soma near to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It is mainly postsynaptic in around 100 columns of medulla layer M8 (Nern et al., 2025). It sends most of its output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum and the wedge (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). 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).

Adult Cholinergic Nervous system Visual system

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.
