| Term | adult lobula plate tangential neuron LPT54 | ID (Ontology) | FBbt:20001679 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition | Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its soma posterior to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its main input region is the medulla, where it has a large tangential arbor, spanning over 100 columns across layer M8 (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Its main output region is tha lobula plate, where it arborizes mainly in layer 1, across nearly 100 columns (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It also has presynapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, remaining ipsilateral (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0246888 FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ] | ||
| Also Known As | "adult posterior lateral protocerebrum neuron 179" ; "LPT54" ; "PLP179" | ||
| 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). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire. | ||
