Tlp1 [FBbt_00003891]

Translobula plate neuron that receives input mainly in around 20 columns of lobula plate layer 4, but also layers 2-3 (Nern et al., 2025). There are also a smaller number of presynapses in the lobula plate, particularly in layer 4 (Nern et al., 2025). In the lobula, it has pre- and post-synapses mainly in layers 4-5A, spanning around 5 columns (Nern et al., 2025). It is a glutamatergic neuron (Raghu and Borst, 2011). There are around 65-70 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

There are around 65-70 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

The neurotransmitter was assessed by labelling cells with a vGlut[CNSIII]-GAL4 driver (FBti0129148) (Raghu and Borst, 2011).
