PLP222 [FBbt_20001722]

Adult brain-intrinsic neuron of the PLP222 group, with its soma in the brain, ventral to the mushroom body calyx (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the VLPp2 hemilineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has postsynapses in the contralateral lateral accessory lobe, the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum, the contralateral superior posterior slope, the ipsilateral superior posterior slope, the ipsilateral posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and the ipsilateral anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has presynapses in the contralateral lateral accessory lobe, the contralateral superior posterior slope and the contralateral vest (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024).

Adult Cholinergic lineage VLPp2 DPMpl3

Adult brain-intrinsic neuron of the PLP222 group, with its soma in the brain, ventral to the mushroom body calyx (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the VLPp2 hemilineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has postsynapses in the contralateral lateral accessory lobe, the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum, the contralateral superior posterior slope, the ipsilateral superior posterior slope, the ipsilateral posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and the ipsilateral anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has presynapses in the contralateral lateral accessory lobe, the contralateral superior posterior slope and the contralateral vest (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald 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).
