MeVP5 [FBbt_20011487]

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP5 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M8 and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral optic lobe and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 9 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
