Li20 [FBbt_20007230]

Adult lobula intrinsic neuron of the Li20 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 and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 21 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
