LoVP53

ID: FBbt_20007574

Adult lobula visual projection neuron of the LoVP53 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4, lobula layer 6, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, accessory medulla, wedge, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B, and the saddle (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, wedge and lobula layer 5A, and the saddle (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets (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. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
