ID: FBbt_00053354

Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its dendrites spanning around 200 columns of the dorsoposterior part of the visual field in ipsilateral lobula plate layer 3, but also a smaller region of the dorsal part of the visual field in lobula plate layer 2 (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral lobula plate layer 4 (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it sends output mainly to the contralateral inferior and superior posterior slope (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type based on FAFB and optic lobe EM data (Zhao et al., 2023; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025) and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025).
