| Term | adult medulla visual centrifugal neuron MeVCMe11 | ID (Ontology) | FBbt:20001880 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition | Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma medial to the antler (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the DM1 posterior hemilineage (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its main arborization regions in the central brain are the inferior and superior posterior slopes of both hemispheres and the gnathal ganglion (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It projects to the contralateral medulla and sends output to around 200 columns of layers M4-5, M8 and M10, additionally having some postsynapses mainly in M8 (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0246888 FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ] | ||
| Also Known As | "adult posterior slope neuron 125" ; "cM15" ; "MeVC11" (for all, see Synonyms field below) | ||
| Comment | Cell type based on Hemibrain data (Scheffer et al., 2020), updated using FlyWire (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024) and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire. | ||
