General Information
Term translobula plate neuron Tlp1 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003891 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Translobula plate neuron that receives input mainly in around 20 columns of lobula plate layer 4, but also layers 2-3 (Nern et al., 2025). There are also a smaller number of presynapses in the lobula plate, particularly in layer 4 (Nern et al., 2025). In the lobula, it has pre- and post-synapses mainly in layers 4-5A, spanning around 5 columns (Nern et al., 2025). It is a glutamatergic neuron (Raghu and Borst, 2011). There are around 65-70 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0049410 FlyBase:FBrf0213690 FlyBase:FBrf0254308 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "Tlp1" ; "Tpl1" ; "translobula plate neuron Tlp12" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
Comment The neurotransmitter was assessed by labelling cells with a vGlut[CNSIII]-GAL4 driver (FBti0129148) (Raghu and Borst, 2011).
