aMe10 [FBbt_00053474]

Adult bilateral visual projection neuron that receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layers 6-7, with a small extension into layer 1, and in the ipsilateral accessory medulla (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It also has pre-and post-synapses in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It sends output to the contralateral accessory medulla and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are around 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
