MeVPLo2 [FBbt_20007616]

Adult visual projection neuron with its soma dorsal to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has postsynapses in the ipsilateral medulla, mainly in layers M5-M6, in around 50 columns (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum in both hemispheres (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 7 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Cholinergic Nervous system Visual system

Adult visual projection neuron with its soma dorsal to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has postsynapses in the ipsilateral medulla, mainly in layers M5-M6, in around 50 columns (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum in both hemispheres (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 7 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

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.
