General Information
|
| Term |
adult medulla visual projection neuron MeVP38 |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:20007654 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Adult unilateral visual projection neuron with its soma anterior to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the optic lobe, it receives input in medulla layers M7-M8 from around 70 columns (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it has pre- and post-synapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, and also sends output to the superior lateral protocerebrum and superior clamp (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). 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 medulla tangential neuron e45" ; "adult MTe45 neuron" ; "MeVP38" (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. |
