General Information
Term lobula plate tangential neuron H2 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00052267 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Lobula plate tangential neuron that innervates most of the ipsilateral lobula plate (LOP) layer 2 and the contralateral inferior posterior slope (IPS) (Wei et al., 2020). Its LOP terminals are mixed pre- and post-synaptic and its IPS terminals are presynaptic (Wei et al., 2020; Shinomiya et al., 2022). Its soma is located on the posterior surface of the lateral central brain (Wei et al., 2020). It is cholinergic (Wei et al., 2020). Its contralateral projection passes frontal to the noduli (Zhao et al., 2023). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Zhao et al., 2023).[ FlyBase:FBrf0245126 FlyBase:FBrf0254308 ]
