ID: FBbt_00048245

Large tangential cell that spans the opposing faces of the medulla layer M10 and lobula layer 1 to form modular associations, one per column, with both T4 and T5 in both neuropil regions (Shinomiya et al., 2019). It is strongly presynaptic to T4 and T5 neurons (Shinomiya et al., 2019). It has its cell body near the midline in the anterior central brain, close to the antennal lobes, and it projects to the contralateral optic lobe. There is one of these cells per hemisphere and it is GABAergic (Takemura et al., 2017).
