LT68 [FBbt_20011465]

Adult lobula tangential neuron of the LT68 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula layer 6 and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
