General Information
Term lobula intrinsic neuron Li4 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00111516 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Neuron whose cell body lies in the cortex of the lobula. It arborizes over a large area of the lobula, mostly in layer 5 but with some branches in layer 4. It receives very strong synaptic input from Tm5a/b/c and Tm20 neurons (Lin et al., 2016). There are approximately 30 of these cells per hemisphere (Lin et al., 2016).[ FlyBase:FBrf0230403 ]
Also Known As"Li4"
CommentConnectivity data was assessed by GRASP and double-labeling EM (Lin et al., 2016).
