LC29 [FBbt_20011388]

Adult lobula columnar neuron of the LC29 group (Nern et al., 2025). It belongs to the VPNd1 hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 4, posterior lateral protocerebrum, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 19 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Cholinergic Visual system lineage VPNd1 BLD6

Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets and at light level (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. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
