It belongs to the DM1 posterior hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the contralateral medulla serpentine layer, wedge, superior posterior slope and inferior posterior slope, and the gnathal ganglion and inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral medulla layer M6 and medulla serpentine layer (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets (Scheffer et al., 2020; Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements. MeVC6 PS132 fly_anatomy.ontology VFB:FBbt_20001887 FBbt:20001887 cM02b MeVC6 bilateral
