LC18

ID: FBbt_00111753

Lobula columnar neuron whose cell body lies along the dorsal posterior surface of the lobula, in the lobula rind (Wu et al., 2016). It has its main arbors in lobula layers 2 (proximal region, near the boundary with layer 3), and in the boundary of layers 3/4 (Wu et al., 2016; Tanaka and Clark, 2022). Presynaptic sites are observed in layers 3 and 4 (Wu et al., 2016). Its arbors span approximately 30 optic columns, overlapping with other LC18 cells (Wu et al., 2016). It projects to a ventral optic glomerulus of the PVLP, medial and slightly dorsal to LC12 (Wu et al., 2016). There are around 94 cells of this type (Wu et al., 2016).

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