General Information
|
| Term |
adult medulla visual projection neuron MeVP6 |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:20007610 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Adult visual projection neuron with its soma lateral to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives input from around 20 columns of medulla layers M6-M7 (Nern et al., 2025). It projects to the superior 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 40-50 of these cells per organism (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ] |
| Also Known As |
"adult medulla tangential neuron e01a" ; "adult MTe01a neuron" ; "MeVP6" (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. |
