LoVC21 [FBbt_20011424]

Adult lobula visual centrifugal neuron of the LoVC21 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the contralateral medulla layer M9, medulla layer M10, lobula layer 1, lobula layer 2, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, antennal lobe, mushroom body gamma-lobe, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and wedge, and the gnathal ganglion and saddle (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral medulla layer M9, medulla layer M10, lobula layer 1, lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3 and mushroom body gamma-lobe (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).

Adult GABAergic Nervous system Visual system

Adult lobula visual centrifugal neuron of the LoVC21 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the contralateral medulla layer M9, medulla layer M10, lobula layer 1, lobula layer 2, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, antennal lobe, mushroom body gamma-lobe, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and wedge, and the gnathal ganglion and saddle (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral medulla layer M9, medulla layer M10, lobula layer 1, lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3 and mushroom body gamma-lobe (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 (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. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
