LT31 [FBbt_00100489]

A lobula tangential neuron whose cell body is located in the central brain cortex, posterior to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (plpr). The cell body fiber runs anteriorly through the plpr neuropil and bifurcates in the ventrolateral protocerebrum. The lateral branch makes a turn and runs ventroposterior towards the neck of the lobula. From there the neuron forms extensive tree-like branches in lobula layer 4. The medial branch makes a right-angle turn to run ventroposterior towards the posterior plpr. It forms terminals in the area that is close to the position of the cell body. There is only a single neuron in this class per hemisphere.
