General Information
Term adult lobula plate tangential neuron LPT52 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00053389 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its dendrites spanning around 50 columns of the anterior part of the visual field in all lobula plate layers (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral and sends output mainly to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "LPT52"
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).
