MeVP58 [FBbt_20007620]

Adult unilateral visual projection neuron with its soma ventral to the lateral horn (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives input from around 30 columns of medulla layer M7 (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the superior and inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). There are approximately 3 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.
