General Information
Term accessory medulla neuron aMe17a ID (Ontology) FBbt:00053476 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult unilateral visual centrifugal neuron that receives input mainly in the posterior lateral protocerebrum and sends output to around 150 columns of medulla layers M6-M7, where it has a large tangential arbor (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "aMe17a" ; "aMe17a1"
Comment Found in 3 EM datasets and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Hemibrain 'aMe17a' includes aMe17e (Nern et al., 2025). Despite the name, this has little input/output in the accessory medulla (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025).
