LPi4-3 [FBbt_00111288]

A lobula plate intrinsic neuron whose cell body is on the ventral region of the cell body rind of the lobula plate (Mauss et al., 2015). The primary neurite is short, terminating in lobula plate layers 3 and 4 (Mauss et al., 2015). It has presynaptic terminals in layer 3 and postsynaptic ones in layer 4 (Mauss et al., 2015). It receives most of its input from T4d and T5d neurons (Shinomiya et al., 2022). It is a glutamatergic neuron (Mauss et al., 2015). There are around 30 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

There are around 30 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

The glutamate neurotransmitter was assessed by antibody staining (Mauss et al., 2015). Matsliah et al. (2024) - FBrf0260545 nomenclature scheme unrelated to layer innervation.
