LT12 [FBbt_00100488]
A lobula tangential neuron whose cell body is located in the anterior area of the lateral cell body region. The cell body fiber bifurcates at the neck of the lobula. The branch towards the lobula arborizes at the posterior edge of the lobula and enters the neuropil in lobula layer 4. The branch towards the central brain projects along the lobula/lobula-plate bundle and terminates in the medial ventrolateral protocerebrum. There is only one neuron of this type per hemisphere.
