lobula plate calyx group tangential neuron [FBbt_00053411]
Tangential neuron of the lobula plate with a contralaterally-projecting axon that passes near to the mushroom body calyces (Zhao et al., 2023). There are four of these cells per hemisphere (Zhao et al., 2023). They are all visual projection neurons (Nern et al., 2025).

Tangential neuron of the lobula plate with a contralaterally-projecting axon that passes near to the mushroom body calyces (Zhao et al., 2023). There are four of these cells per hemisphere (Zhao et al., 2023). They are all visual projection neurons (Nern et al., 2025).
Zhao et al. (2023) match each of these four to neurons identified in blowfly.
