General Information
Term accessory medulla neuron aMe8 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00053491 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult unilateral visual projection neuron that receives input in around 30-40 columns of lobula layer 6 as well as having some pre- and post-synapses in the accessory medulla (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it has pre- and post-synapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum (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 are around 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "aMe8"
Comment Found in 3 EM datasets and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025).
