Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its soma posterior to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its main input region is the medulla, where it has a large tangential arbor, spanning over 100 columns across layer M8 (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Its main output region is tha lobula plate, where it arborizes mainly in layer 1, across nearly 100 columns (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It also has presynapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, remaining ipsilateral (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (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) and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
