Lawf2 [FBbt_00110065]
A lamina wide-field neuron that has a main projection into the lamina making wide-field arborizations in the distal lamina, innervating 28 cartridges. These neurons also arborize in the medulla (Hasegawa et al., 2011). In the M1 layer, the branches are large and overlapping, encompassing around 120 cartridges. In medulla layers M8 to M10 the branches are smaller, encompassing around 17 cartridges and show less overlap. Putative cholinergic presynaptic sites are observed in the lamina.
