LC10a [FBbt_00111747]
Subtype of lobula columnar neuron LC10B. It has its main arbors in lobula layers 3, 4 and 5B, with some processes extending into layer 2 and some branches in layers 5 and 6. Presynaptic sites are observed in layer 3. It is a cholinergic neuron (Davis et al., 2020). It is involved in the detection of fly-sized objects and its sensitivity increases during male courtship or female aggression (Schretter et al., 2025).
