LoVC23 [FBbt_20011425]

Adult lobula visual centrifugal neuron of the LoVC23 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the contralateral lobula layer 6 and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral lobula layer 6 and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
