General Information
Term lobula-lobula plate columnar neuron LLPC ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003881 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Lobula complex columnar neuron with its soma in the cell body rind of the lobula plate (Shinomiya et al., 2022). It has a dendritic branch with more proximal arbors in the lobula plate more distal arbors in the lobula (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989; Strausfeld and Gilbert, 1992; Shinomiya et al., 2019; Shinomiya et al., 2022). It has an axonal branch that projects along a path posterior to the lobula plate to the central brain (Fischbach and Dittrich, 1989; Strausfeld and Gilbert, 1992; Shinomiya et al., 2019; Shinomiya et al., 2022).[ FlyBase:FBrf0049410 FlyBase:FBrf0240360 FlyBase:FBrf0243899 FlyBase:FBrf0254308 ]
Also Known As "Lccn2" ; "LLPC" ; "lobula complex columnar neuron Lccn2" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
Comment These neurons were first described in Drosophila by Fischbach and Dittrich (1989), who named them lobula complex columnar neurons type 2 (Lccn2). Similar neurons were later found in other diptera (Strausfeld and Gilbert, 1992) and named lobula-lobula plate neurons (LLP); that later terminology is now predominant in the literature.
