LPi4b [FBbt_00053472]

Large lobula plate intrinsic neuron with arborization throughout layer 4, with some extensions reaching layer 3 and layer 2 (Nern et al., 2025). It has both pre- and post-synapses in all of these layers (Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be GABAergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells on each side (Nern et al., 2025).
