PLP020 [FBbt_20001520]

Adult brain-intrinsic neuron of the PLP020 group, with its soma in the brain, anterior to the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the WEDa2 hemilineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has postsynapses in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has presynapses in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum and the ipsilateral inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is gaba (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024).

Adult GABAergic lineage WEDa2 BAlp3

Adult brain-intrinsic neuron of the PLP020 group, with its soma in the brain, anterior to the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the WEDa2 hemilineage (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has postsynapses in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has presynapses in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum and the ipsilateral inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is gaba (Eckstein et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024).

Uncharacterized putative cell type based on Hemibrain data (Scheffer et al., 2020) and updated using FlyWire (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Soma locations are based on the closest annotated neuropil region. Pre- or post-synapse locations are the fewest regions that collectively contain at least 80 percent of all pre- or post-synapses of these neurons in FlyWire. Neurotransmitter predictions are from Eckstein et al. (2024). Other annotations are based on annotations in FlyWire and are available in the supplemental material of Schlegel et al. (2024).
