General Information
|
| Term |
adult medulla visual projection neuron MeVP14 |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:20007614 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Adult visual projection neuron with its soma lateral to the lateral horn (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the optic lobe, it is mainly postsynaptic in medulla layers M6-M7, in around 10 columns, and it has pre- and post-synapses in lobula layer 6, also in around 10 columns (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral, and has pre- and post-synapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 15 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ] |
| Also Known As |
"adult medulla tangential neuron e05" ; "adult MTe05 neuron" ; "MeVP14" (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. |
