LPT30

ID: FBbt_00053350

Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its dendrites spanning around 100 columns of the ventral part of the visual field in lobula plate layer 4, but also arborizing across all other layers (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). It also sends branches into lobula layers 4-5A, where it receives a small amount of input (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral and sends output mainly to the inferior posterior slope and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type based on FAFB and optic lobe EM data (Zhao et al., 2023; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025) and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025).
