Li18b [FBbt_20011408]

Adult lobula intrinsic neuron of the Li18b group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 6 and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula layer 6 (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 16 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult GABAergic Nervous system Visual system

Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets and at light level (Matsliah et al., 2025; 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.
