General Information
Term lobula plate tangential neuron LPT100 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20007295 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its soma posterior to the lateral horn (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It receives its input in the ipsilateral lobula plate, mainly in layer 4, across around 20 columns (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it sends output to the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 20 of these cells per optic lobe (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "adult lobula plate tangential neuron e01" ; "LPT100" ; "LPTe01"
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.
