LLPC4 [FBbt_00053500]

Lobula-lobula plate columnar neuron that has a small dendritic branch in a few columns of lobula plate layer 4 and a larger region of arborization in around 15 columns of the lobula, mainly receiving input in layer 5 (Nern et al., 2025). It remains ipsilateral and sends output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are around three of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
