LoVP72

ID: FBbt_20007591

Adult lobula visual projection neuron of the LoVP72 group (Nern et al., 2025). It belongs to the VPNp&v1 posterior hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral superior lateral protocerebrum, lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral superior lateral protocerebrum, lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp and lobula layer 5B (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. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
