Adult visual projection neuron with its soma lateral to the lateral horn (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). In the optic lobe, it is mainly postsynaptic in medulla layers M6-M7, in around 10 columns, and it has pre- and post-synapses in lobula layer 6, also in around 10 columns (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral, and has pre- and post-synapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 15 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
