General Information
Term adult lobula tangential neuron LT54 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20004234 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult intrinsic lobula tangential neuron with its soma ventral-lateral to the anterior optic tubercle (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula and sends output to the contralateral lobula (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). On both sides, its terminals are mainly found in lobula layer 6, spanning around 30 columns (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "CB0472" ; "LT54"
Comment Cell type from Schlegel et al. (2024), based on FlyWire v783 (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location is based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
