General Information
Term adult lobula plate tangential neuron LPT50 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00053354 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its dendrites spanning around 200 columns of the dorsoposterior part of the visual field in ipsilateral lobula plate layer 3, but also a smaller region of the dorsal part of the visual field in lobula plate layer 2 (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the contralateral lobula plate layer 4 (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it sends output mainly to the contralateral inferior and superior posterior slope (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "LPT50"
Comment 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).
