(2025). FBbt:00053511 fly_anatomy.ontology Adult bilateral visual projection neuron with its soma between the central brain and optic lobe (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). In the optic lobes, it receives input in around 200 columns of ipsilateral medulla layers M6-M7 and sends output to around 50 columns of contralateral medulla layers M6-M7 (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it sends output to the contralateral posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). MeVPMe11 adult lateral brain cell body rind bilateral
