| Term | adult medulla visual projection neuron MeVPMe5 | ID (Ontology) | FBbt:20007603 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition | Adult visual projection neuron with its soma dorsal to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the VPNl&d1 lateral hemilineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the optic lobes, it receives input in around 80 columns of ipsilateral medulla layer M6 and sends output to around 20 columns of contralateral medulla layers M6-M7 (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it sends output to the contralateral superior and inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 10 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ] | ||

| 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. | ||
