LT59 [FBbt_20011455]

Adult lobula tangential neuron of the LT59 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp, superior posterior slope and lobula layer 5B, and the inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp, superior posterior slope and lobula layer 5B, and the inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). 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).
