General Information
Term adult lobula plate tangential neuron LPT53 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00053424 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult visual centrifugal lobula plate tangential neuron with presynapses spanning around 80 columns of the posterior part of the visual field in lobula plate layer 2 and a smaller region at the posterior edge of layer 3 (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral, receiving input in the superior and inferior posterior slope and posterior lateral protocerebrum (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 "LPT53"
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).
