LPT52 [FBbt_00053389]

Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its dendrites spanning around 50 columns of the anterior part of the visual field in all lobula plate layers (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral and sends output mainly to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
