MeVP50 [FBbt_20007643]

Adult unilateral visual projection neuron with its soma anterior to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives input in around 100 columns of medulla layers M7-M8 (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior bridge and the superior and inferior clamp (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Nervous system Neuron 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.
