Y [FBbt_00003911]
Intrinsic columnar neuron of the optic lobe that has a cell body in the cortex of the lobula plate and that arborizes in the lobula plate before bifurcating in the second optic chiasm, with one branch innervating the lobula and the other the proximal medulla (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989; Shinomiya et al., 2019). Some of these cells project multiple axons into the second optic chiasma (Shinomiya et al., 2019).
