General Information
Term adult medulla visual centrifugal neuron MeVC12 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20007299 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma dorsal 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 input region is the gnathal ganglion and it sends output to the contralateral medulla in layers M2-M4 and M10 across around 20 columns (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; 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:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "adult cM06 neuron" ; "adult medulla visual centrifugal neuron 06" ; "cM06" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
Comment Cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
