GABAergic neuron whose cell body is located in the posterior area of the lateral cell body region between the posteriolateral protocerebrum and the optic lobe of the adult brain (Tanaka et al., 2008; Aso et al., 2014). It is a secondary neuron that is part of the VPNp&v1 (BLP1) posterior hemilineage (Bates et al., 2020). It projects dorsally towards the lateral horn before branching, with one (dendritic) branch extensively arborizing in the ventral part of the lateral horn, and the other turning medially and terminating in the calyx (Tanaka et al., 2008; Aso et al., 2014; Dolan et al., 2019). There are approximately 2-3 of these cells per hemisphere (Aso et al., 2014; Dolan et al., 2019).

Mao and Davis (2009) - FBrf0208427 claim this is a PPL2ab neuron, but listed as distinct in Aso et al. (2014).
