LPi3b [FBbt_00053469]

Lobula plate intrinsic neuron with dendrites that span around 40 columns of layer 3 and 20 columns of layer 4 (Nern et al., 2025). It has presynapses in both layers 3 and 4 (Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be glutamatergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are around 22 of these cells on each side (Nern et al., 2025).
