LC31a [FBbt_20011389]

Adult lobula columnar neuron of the LC31a group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 16 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Cholinergic Nervous system Visual system

Adult lobula columnar neuron of the LC31a group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 16 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets and at light level (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.
