LPi4a [FBbt_00053471]

Lobula plate intrinsic neuron with dendrites that span around 20 columns of layer 4, but also reach around 10 columns of layer 1 (Nern et al., 2025). Its presynapses are mainly in layer 1, with some also in layer 4 (Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be glutamatergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are around 17 of these cells on each side (Nern et al., 2025).
