General Information
Term lobula plate tangential neuron vCal1 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20001627 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult lobula plate tangential neuron of the calyx group with its soma posterior to the lateral horn (Zhao et al., 2023; Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It belongs to the SLPp&v1 ventral hemilineage (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula plate, mainly in layers 2 and 4, from around 50 columns (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum in both hemispheres (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). There is one of these cells on each side (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0246888 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "LPT46" ; "PLP127" ; "vCal1"
Comment Cell type based on Hemibrain data (Scheffer et al., 2020), updated using FlyWire (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024) and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Matched to blowfly neuron in Zhao et al. (2023). Soma location based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
