It receives input in around 50 columns of ipsilateral medulla layers M6-M7 and sends output to around 5 columns of contralateral medulla layers M6-M7 (Nern et al., 2025). It also receives input in the accessory medulla and posterior lateral protocerebrum of both hemispheres and sends output to the contralateral posterior lateral protocerebrum and accessory medulla (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). Cell type identified in two sets of EM data, matched and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). MeVPaMe2 adult glutamatergic neuron adult lateral brain cell body rind bilateral
