Mi17 [FBbt_20011491]

Adult medulla intrinsic neuron of the Mi17 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 85 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
