General Information
Term adult lobula visual projection neuron LoVP109 ID (Ontology) FBbt:20007573 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult visual projection neuron with its soma ventral to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It remains ipsilateral, receiving input in the lobula and sending output to the anterior and posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As "adult lobula tangential neuron e12" ; "LoVP109" ; "LTe12"
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, but not in optic lobe EM dataset, by Nern et al. (2025). Soma location based on the closest annotated neuropil region in FlyWire.
