LPT100 [FBbt_20007295]

Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its soma posterior to the lateral horn (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives its input in the ipsilateral lobula plate, mainly in layer 4, across around 20 columns (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it sends output to the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 20 of these cells per optic lobe (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Cholinergic Nervous system Visual system

Cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
