Its dendritic arbors are found in medulla layer M6, in a different sublayer than the MC61 cells, and also in medulla layers M2 and M8 (Timaeus et al., 2020). MeTu-medial MC64 FBbt:00051218 Timaeus et al. (2020) say that these cells also innervate the lobula, but do not reference a figure or paper and it is not clear whether this is a subset or the whole population. Timaeus et al. (2020) also say that these cells do not appear to follow a topographic organization between the medulla and AOTU, but topographic organization was seen by Garner et al. (2024). fly_anatomy.ontology MeTu4 MC64 medulla columnar 64 neuron MeTu-il MeTu-im adult medulla-tubercle neuron medulla columnar neuron
