ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00053491 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Adult unilateral visual projection neuron that receives input in around 30-40 columns of lobula layer 6 as well as having some pre- and post-synapses in the accessory medulla (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it has pre- and post-synapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are around 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ] |
