PLP021 [FBbt_20001521]

Adult brain-intrinsic neuron of the PLP021 group, with its soma in the brain, medial to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It belongs to the WEDa2 hemilineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It has postsynapses in the ipsilateral lateral accessory lobe, the ipsilateral crepine, the ipsilateral vest and the ipsilateral superior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It has presynapses in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum, the ipsilateral superior posterior slope and the ipsilateral inferior clamp (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024. There are approximately 3 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. (Dorkenwald et al., 2024, Eckstein et al., 2024)

Adult Cholinergic lineage WEDa2 BAlp3

Adult brain-intrinsic neuron of the PLP021 group, with its soma in the brain, medial to the accessory medulla (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It belongs to the WEDa2 hemilineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It has postsynapses in the ipsilateral lateral accessory lobe, the ipsilateral crepine, the ipsilateral vest and the ipsilateral superior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. It has presynapses in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum, the ipsilateral superior posterior slope and the ipsilateral inferior clamp (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024. There are approximately 3 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024. (Dorkenwald et al., 2024, Eckstein et al., 2024)

Uncharacterized putative cell type based on Hemibrain data (Scheffer et al., 2020 and updated using FlyWire (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024. Soma locations are based on the closest annotated neuropil region. Pre- or post-synapse locations are the fewest regions that collectively contain at least 80 percent of all pre- or post-synapses of these neurons in FlyWire. Neurotransmitter predictions are from Eckstein et al., 2024. Other annotations are based on annotations in FlyWire and are available in the supplemental material of Schlegel et al., 2024.
