aMe25 [FBbt_00053483]

Adult unilateral visual projection neuron that receives input in around 80 columns of medulla layers M6-M7, where it has a wide tangential arbor, and the accessory medulla (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 clamp and superior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
