PS277 [FBbt_20002032]

Adult visual centrifugal neuron of the PS277 group, with its soma in the brain, posterior to the superior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has postsynapses in the saddle, the contralateral lobula plate, the ipsilateral superior posterior slope, the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum, the ipsilateral inferior posterior slope and the contralateral superior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has presynapses in the contralateral lobula plate, the contralateral superior posterior slope, the saddle and the ipsilateral superior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). There are approximately 2 of these cells per organism (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024).

Adult visual centrifugal neuron of the PS277 group, with its soma in the brain, posterior to the superior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has postsynapses in the saddle, the contralateral lobula plate, the ipsilateral superior posterior slope, the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum, the ipsilateral inferior posterior slope and the contralateral superior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It has presynapses in the contralateral lobula plate, the contralateral superior posterior slope, the saddle and the ipsilateral superior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald 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).
