aMe4 [FBbt_00053486]
Adult unilateral visual centrifugal neuron that receives input in the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). In the optic lobe, it has postsynapses in the accessory medulla and medulla layers M6-M7, spanning around 20 columns, and presynapses in around 60 columns of layer M1 (Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are 9 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Cholinergic Nervous system Visual system
Adult unilateral visual centrifugal neuron that receives input in the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). In the optic lobe, it has postsynapses in the accessory medulla and medulla layers M6-M7, spanning around 20 columns, and presynapses in around 60 columns of layer M1 (Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are 9 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
