MeVP62 [FBbt_20011488]

Adult medulla visual projection neuron of the MeVP62 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8 and lobula layer 6 (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer, anterior optic tubercle and lobula layer 6 (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 3 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
