Adult visual projection neuron with its soma posterior to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives input in layers 5B and 6 of the ipsilateral lobula, in around 50 columns (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output mainly to the inferior clamp, remaining ipsilateral (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type based on Hemibrain data (Scheffer et al., 2020), updated using FlyWire (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), matched across EM datasets and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
