LC16

ID: FBbt_00111751

Lobula columnar neuron whose cell body lies in the ventral area of the lateral cell body rind (Wu et al., 2016). It has its main dendritic arbors in lobula layers 3-5B, with most synapses in layer 5B (Wu et al., 2016; Tanaka and Clark, 2022). Presynaptic sites are observed in layers 4 and 5B (Wu et al., 2016). Its arbors span approximately 30 optic columns, overlapping with other LC16 cells (Wu et al., 2016). It projects to a dorsal optic glomerulus of the PVLP (Wu et al., 2016). There are around 96 cells of this type (Wu et al., 2016). They are cholinergic (Davis et al., 2020).

Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation assessed with a presynaptic marker (synaptotagmin-HA driver) (Wu et al., 2016).
