aMe1 [FBbt_00053473]
Adult unilateral visual projection neuron with most of its input and output synapses in the accessory medulla, with a small extension into medulla layer 1 (Nern et al., 2025). Its main site of innervation in the central brain is the posterior lateral protocerebrum, where it also has pre- and post-synapses (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It is predicted to be GABAergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are two of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
