OLVC7

ID: FBbt_20007287

Adult visual centrifugal neuron of the OLVC7 group (Nern et al., 2025). It belongs to the DM6 posterior hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral superior posterior slope, and the contralateral medulla, lobula plate layer 1 and lobula layer 5A (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral medulla layer M8, lobula layer 4, lobula plate layer 1 and lobula layer 5A (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 3 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. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
