LoVP46 [FBbt_20007583]

Adult visual projection neuron with its soma near to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has mainly postsynapses in the ipsilateral lobula layer 6, spanning around 100 columns (Nern et al., 2025). As well as the lobula, it has presynapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, remaining ipsilateral (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Glutamatergic Nervous system Visual system

Adult visual projection neuron with its soma near to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has mainly postsynapses in the ipsilateral lobula layer 6, spanning around 100 columns (Nern et al., 2025). As well as the lobula, it has presynapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, remaining ipsilateral (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
