General Information
Term accessory medulla neuron aMe6b ID (Ontology) FBbt:00053489 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult optic lobe intrinsic neuron with pre- and post-synapses mainly in the accessory medulla, but also extending slightly into the medulla (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It has its soma lateral to the medulla (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "aMe6b"
Comment Matched across Optic Lobe and FlyWire EM data by Nern et al. (2025). Flywire neurons have greater number of medulla synapses.
