LC2 [FBbt_00003872]
Lobula columnar neuron that arborizes in lobula layers 3-5. The distal part of this arborization is fine and bushy while the proximal part has thick projections with bleb-type terminals. It is a cholinergic neuron (Varija Raghu et al., 2011).

Lobula columnar neuron that arborizes in lobula layers 3-5. The distal part of this arborization is fine and bushy while the proximal part has thick projections with bleb-type terminals. It is a cholinergic neuron (Varija Raghu et al., 2011).
The neurotransmitter was assessed by co-labelling cells with a Cha-GAL4.7.4 driver (FBtp0014830) and an anti-ChAT antibody (Varija Raghu et al., 2011). Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation judged by scoring of terminal morphology from figures in Fischbach and Dittrich (1989) as assessed by FlyBrain Neuron DB.
