LT52 [FBbt_20011451]

Adult lobula tangential neuron of the LT52 group (Nern et al., 2025). It belongs to the AOTUv2 hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral anterior optic tubercle, lobula layer 6 and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral anterior optic tubercle, lobula layer 6 and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 17 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Glutamatergic Visual system lineage AOTUv2 DALl1

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. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
