General Information
Term adult lobula visual centrifugal neuron LoVC15 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20001695 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma posterior to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It belongs to the VLPp&l1 posterior hemilineage (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It is predominantly presynaptic in the lobula, arborizing mainly in layer 4 and spanning up to 50 columns (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains mostly ipsilateral and has mixed pre- and post-synapses in the superior posterior slope and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It also receives input in the inferior posterior slope (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Some of these neurons have small midline-crossing fibers (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 3 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 195" ; "cL18" ; "LoVC15" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
Comment Cell type based on Hemibrain data (Scheffer et al., 2020) updated using FlyWire (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), matched across datasets and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025).
