LoVC20

ID: FBbt_20011423

Adult lobula visual centrifugal neuron of the LoVC20 group (Nern et al., 2025). It belongs to the CREa1 ventral hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the contralateral lateral accessory lobe, superior lateral protocerebrum, antennal lobe, pedunculus of mushroom body, mushroom body gamma-lobe, lobula layer 6, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp, wedge, superior posterior slope and flange, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge and saddle (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral superior lateral protocerebrum, superior medial protocerebrum, mushroom body gamma-lobe, lobula layer 6, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior clamp, inferior clamp and superior posterior slope, and the inferior bridge and saddle (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets and at light level (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. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
