LoVP6 [FBbt_20011435]

Adult lobula visual projection neuron of the LoVP6 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral superior lateral protocerebrum, lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral superior lateral protocerebrum, lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 11 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
