OLVC2

ID: FBbt_20011493

Adult visual centrifugal neuron of the OLVC2 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the contralateral lateral accessory lobe, medulla layer M4, medulla layer M5, medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, lobula layer 4, lobula plate layer 1, lobula plate layer 2, lobula plate layer 3, lobula plate layer 4, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, mushroom body gamma-lobe, lobula layer 6, vest, wedge, flange, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B, and the gnathal ganglion and saddle (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral medulla layer M4, medulla layer M5, medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, lobula layer 1, lobula layer 4, lobula plate layer 1, lobula plate layer 2, lobula plate layer 3, lobula plate layer 4, mushroom body gamma-lobe, lobula layer 6, vest, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B, and the gnathal ganglion and saddle (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 (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.
