General Information
Term accessory medulla neuron aMe1 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00053473 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult unilateral visual projection neuron with most of its input and output synapses in the accessory medulla, with a small extension into medulla layer 1 (Nern et al., 2025). Its main site of innervation in the central brain is the posterior lateral protocerebrum, where it also has pre- and post-synapses (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It is predicted to be GABAergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are two of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "aMe1"
Comment Found in 3 EM datasets and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025).
