It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 7 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). FBbt:20007617 MTe08 MeVP17 VFB:FBbt_20007617 Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets (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. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements. fly_anatomy.ontology
