LT66

ID: FBbt_20011463

Adult lobula tangential neuron of the LT66 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4, lobula layer 6, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp, superior posterior slope, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B, and the contralateral lobula, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and superior posterior slope (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula layer 1, lobula layer 2, lobula layer 3, lobula layer 4, gorget, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp and superior posterior slope, and the contralateral lobula layer 2, lobula layer 4, lobula plate layer 1, gorget, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp, superior posterior slope and lobula layer 5A (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).

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.
