General Information
Term	adult lobula tangential neuron LT70	ID (Ontology)	FBbt:20011467 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition	Adult lobula tangential neuron of the LT70 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula layer 6 and lobula layer 5B (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 6 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0259490 FlyBase:FBrf0260535 FlyBase:FBrf0260546 FlyBase:FBrf0262545 ]
Also Known As	"LT70"
Comment	Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets and at light level (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements.
