LT42

ID: FBbt_20011448

Adult lobula tangential neuron of the LT42 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lateral accessory lobe, lobula layer 4, lobula layer 6, gorget, epaulette, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp, wedge, superior intermediate protocerebrum, crepine, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope, cantle, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B, the contralateral superior posterior slope, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge and saddle (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lateral accessory lobe, lobula layer 4, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). 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 identified in multiple EM datasets and at light level (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
