LoVC7

ID: FBbt_20001910

Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma dorsal-medial to the antler (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Most of its input is from the ipsilateral superior posterior slope, where it also has presynapses. It also receives input in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum and inferior bridge (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It enters the proximal lobula and has presynaptic arbors in layers 4 and 5a, spanning around 50 columns (Nern et al., 2025). It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type based on Hemibrain data (Scheffer et al., 2020), updated using FlyWire (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024) and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
