vCal2 [FBbt_00053417]

Adult lobula plate tangential neuron of the calyx group that arborizes in the ventral part of the ipsilateral lobula plate layer 4 visual field (Zhao et al., 2023), receiving input from around 100 columns (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum in both hemispheres (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It is predicted to be glutamatergic (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells on each side (Nern et al., 2025).
