Li26 [FBbt_20007246]

Adult lobula intrinsic neuron of the Li26 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4 and lobula layer 5A (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula layer 2 and lobula layer 3 (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 18 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
