LPT22 [FBbt_00053421]

Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its dendrites spanning around 200 columns of the anterior part of the visual field in lobula plate layer 2 (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). It also has a smaller number of mixed pre- and post-synapses in layer 1 (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral and sends output to the lateral accessory lobe (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Adult GABAergic Nervous system Visual system

Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its dendrites spanning around 200 columns of the anterior part of the visual field in lobula plate layer 2 (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). It also has a smaller number of mixed pre- and post-synapses in layer 1 (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral and sends output to the lateral accessory lobe (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is GABA (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Cell type based on FAFB and optic lobe EM data (Zhao et al., 2023; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025).
