MeVP56

ID: FBbt_20007638

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP56 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M5, medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, superior posterior slope and inferior posterior slope, the contralateral superior posterior slope and inferior posterior slope, and the inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral optic lobe, superior posterior slope and inferior posterior slope, the contralateral superior posterior slope and inferior posterior slope, and the inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
