General Information
Term adult lobula visual centrifugal neuron LoVC16 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20002190 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma posterior to the lateral horn (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It remains ipsilateral, receiving input in the anterior and posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and sending output to the lobula (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its axon travels around the posterior of the lobula and branches on the distal side, to enter the distal lobula in multiple places, arborizing mainly in layer 2 in over 200 columns (Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0246888 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "adult posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum neuron 132" ; "cL21" ; "LoVC16" (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). NT prediction inconsistent between EM datasets (Nern et al., 2025).
