LC37 [FBbt_20011395]

Adult lobula columnar neuron of the LC37 group (Nern et al., 2025). It belongs to the VPNp&v1 ventral hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 6, inferior clamp and lobula layer 5B, and the inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula, inferior clamp and superior posterior slope, and the inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 8 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult Glutamatergic Visual system lineage VPNp&v1 BLP1

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. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
