Its ipsilateral processes are postsynaptic and innervate layer 2 only (Wei et al., 2020; Shinomiya et al., 2022). Its contralateral branch follows the anterior optic tract to the contralateral lobula plate layers 1 and 2, where it has presynaptic terminals (Bausenwein et al., 1990; Wei et al., 2020; Shinomiya et al., 2022). There is one of these cells per hemisphere with its soma in the cleft between the central brain and the optic lobe (Wei et al., 2020). It is glutamatergic (Wei et al., 2020). It is activated by back-to-front motion during flight (Bausenwein et al., 1990). lobula plate dorsofrontal group tangential neuron H1 heterolateral H1 element H1 LPT37 VFB:FBbt_00047991 adult glutamatergic neuron adult lateral brain cell body rind adult anterior optic tract bilateral
